Dear Grasping,
Good Day. It can be a good day despite the turmoil and self loathing you may feel. The simple answer is gratitude. Try being thankful for one thing today. Maybe two tomorrow and three the next day etc. We are all pitifully full of flaws but also worthy of life as much as any other living being on this planet. 🌏 It sounds so simple it can’t possibly help, right? If nothing else has helped I just ask you to give it a try. I am glad you reached out here and I hope with all my being that you can find your rightful place in this crazy world. Sending you a smile and hope for a better day today.

I found gratitude was the ONLY process that has gotten me through my cancer journey. Lobectomey in Feb. It was only 5 mos after my surgery when I learned I had metastases in both lungs, liver, spleen and now 3 tumours in my brain. I'm a non smoker and I am healthy otherwise.

At the very beginning, a friend reminded me about Gratitude. OMGoodnes, it has gotten me through such a fast and sometimes devastating test results. There are so many things in my life that so many folks could only dream of. Very supporting and caring adult kids and their grandchildren. An incredibly supportive husband. My birdwatching outside the window of my bed. Playing in my flower garden as much as I am able, but then finding a wonderful woman who cleans up gardens, knowing what she's doing. I could go on and on.
I would emphasize practising Gratitude to every person struggling in thier life.
One thing per day becomes hundreds of things the more we practise.
