But, it looks like I need a hand up in this area.

Hopefully someone will come along and share some gratitudes.

If someone where to look at my wrong today, I kind of think I would either break down in tears or throw a mean right punch as hard as I could followed by a left and then a right.

Just wondering.....what "wrong"? Hope you feel better [in many ways] SOON!!

----------------------
I'm extremely grateful today! I have a new, prospering business, and it involves helping people....so I really love it!

And I'm no longer living in a cramped RV! We lived in that thing for 9 L-O-N-G years. We're in a two bedroom, two bath apartment which feels like a mansion!

OH! And I'm feeling SUPER!

Anybody wanna follow along?

I'm grateful I found my llmd... because I was so close to being wheelchair bound when my dr got me.

I'm grateful that my pain management dr. is actually helping me....without his treatment I would not be able to get up off the couch at all or open a can.

I'm grateful for my cat... because he doesnt care that I cant work or clean or cook or much of anything else....he loves me anyway.

Best wishes

I am grateful for my boyfriend because he has been there for me when I was down or needed to vent. I am happy to say that I do the same for him as well. Who would have thought that two lymies would find each other and fall in love? HA HA!!!!

Azure Wish.....I am partially stealing this idea from you.... I am very grateful for my cat as well. He loves me unconditionally no matter what shape I am in. He still expects to get his wet food each morning though. We have a mutual understanding in that area. HA HA!!

Good luck everyone!!!!!!
 

this is after just about three years of hell and then some! so I am grateful to our llmds , their knowlege, this board and all the wonderful people on it who have helped me, and continue to help me everyday with questions i need help with, and neverending love and support..

adn grateful to god for giving me the strength to fight this battle for myself and my kids when I felt like i couldnt' fight another day....

IT's a good day today...

I never understood the handicapped, until I had a handicapped child.

I never understood what it was like to be heavy until I weighed 280 lbs.

I never understood grief until my children died.

I never understood pain until I was burned 60% in a house fire.

I never understood perseverance until I lost 150 lbs.

I never understood desperation until I was infected with Lyme Disease.

I never understood gratitude until I no longer had to take medication for Lyme.

I never understood trust until I lost my job.

And I never understood my future until I decided to go back to school to be a nurse to work critical care burns.

But most of all I never understood how fortunate I was to have family and friends who care.

 

Always thought I was an empathetic person, but have found that I did not truly understand until it happened to me. Feel a little embarrassed at this, but it helps me see that other people can't be expected to do what I couldn't do myself.
 

If I need anything.. a smile, a hug, a kind word, or even a job to keep me busy and keep my mind off my own troubles...

I can come here and visit with you.

And you make the world seem ok.

You give me that reason to get up every morning.

Thank you.

Lymetutu said she is grateful for "uppers"?

Hmmmmmmmmm....

Obviously she doesn't mean the uppers that hold UP her pants!

Stop showing your butt droopy drawers!

I'm on a natural high!

I think it gives you a differant perspective. I am empathetic to a point..but people who complain over petty things really drive me nuts!

I truly believe that attitude is a CHOICE.

I make lemonaide out of lemons.
 

I am grateful that the laughter in my family is returning.

My family is grateful to have their mother back.

also

- my husband, who didn't "come around" to understanding lyme and wasn't very understanding or helpful AT ALL during the years I was undiagnosed and sick. Once HE got diagnosed, yep! he's been wonderful! I would never wish lyme on anyone, but I often wished he could "understand" ! Bingo -positive w.b. NOW he gets it

- Dr. Jones (nuff said!)

- My family on both sides

- my best friend and just 2 other friends who didn't drop me like a hot potato when I got really sick. Good riddance to all the other "friends" I used to have.

- The internet (thanks Al Gore! ha ha ha) esp. Lymenet. You saved my family.
