Giving Thanks

Today is the day to give thanks. Even having a bad diagnosis, give thanks that there has been a proper diagnosis. Give thanks to the doctors and nurses and surgeons met on the journey. Give thanks for the love and support of others though sometimes we don't notice. Give thanks for the breath we have. 

But, how we life our lives is up to us. Life is nothing but perceptions. If you perceive it as awful, it will be. If you perceive it as rich and full and an adventure, it will be. Because of being ill, it doesn't mean that everything is now bad and anger is allow to seep into the soul. So I love this quote:

“Sometimes life knocks you on your ass... get up, get up, get up!!! Happiness is not the absence of problems, it's the ability to deal with them.” 
 Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free


Give thanks today. And everyday.
