Gratitude

This is an extremely, extremely, extremely difficult time. I don't have enough words —right words— to express my thanks to God for pulling me through a time like this. I didn't think I would make it. My thanks is deep and silent because there are just... no... words.

One of my friends on Facebook posted this about gratitude on her status... and I just had to repost it!

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity.... It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.

I am grateful for life experiences. The calmness and serenity that is earned through living through difficult times is such a blessing.
I'm grateful for good health, and the ability, motiviation and drive to keep plugging along, despite the cracks, creaks and groans of time creeping up on me.
I am grateful for love. My love. And hers. The love I feel makes me strive to be a better person, and her love for me leaves me breathless.
And I am grateful for our unconventional family. A little goat-butt named Petey, and a blender with claws named Baxie. lil shits...

There's a whole lotta gratitude going on over here.

*Family, Friends, and Animals

*Small Acts of Kindness Shown to Me, esp. in Dino's 3rd Birthday Thread

*Getting a Coupon in the Mail for $.99 Large Coffee at Dunkin' Donuts

*When I was out at NIH, I left my wallet with Rosie in case she needed it for money for my sister. Not even thinking of this, I walked out and went downstairs to get a newspaper for my bio-father, and coffee for my mother. Well, after standing in line 20 min. I got up to the cashier. I went for my wallet, and it wasn't there. A very kind stranger, told me not to worry about it, and bought both for me. I was speechless. I said thank you. But I was still speechless. Nobody has ever done anything like that for me before. If I went back upstairs empty handed I knew I would be verbally attacked by my bio-father. Now I was safe. Out of harms way you could say.

I am grateful for the clarity of mind to know it is really for the best, my best.

I'm grateful for friends, upcoming time off and the hope for a new start.

I hold gratitude in knowing all energy is connected. And that within that, all is as it should be.

Finally after a couple dozen doctors, several MRI, many xrays, bottle after bottle of meds, I have true diagnosis about my back...

ankylosing spondolitis (AS) aka Bamboo Back. Its a painful progressive chronically inflammatory disease that is genetic based. Yes, I have the slipped discs from the accident..which is what progressed the flare up of the AS. I wont get better...but we can slow the progression and treat the symptoms.

I am so relieved..its not in my head. No one is going to call me a hypochondriac again. My sister and her children and my daughter all have to go in to see if they test positive for the antigen.

Now that we know what it is, we can stop trying to treat the wrong thing. Want to know why land PT wasnt working for me and sometimes made it worse? Its conta indicated for this disease! Water therapy tho is best for it...

I have new meds..and have an appt with water therapy next week...

I am so grateful!!!!
