Yeah don’t give up! That’s the attitude. I just wrote a big old reply to another subject, but it had to do with pain management and having a good attitude during our struggle to have quality of life. You can find joy and blessings in your 45 year relationship with a supportive partner. That is an amazing thing. I can have joy and blessings in that although I am alone on this journey, I am strong and self reliant. I promise everyone that there is some asset they have in their life on the other side of their curse. I believe in the principle of duality over my lifetime and someone once told me that when you are mired in sh*t you reach to the other side. Sometimes that means just being still and breathing deep. “ this too shall pass.” Always rings true for me, weather I am pain-free or in consuming pain, I try to remember that I am a spiritual being. Everything in life is a practice for me, forever the student.
