I have discovered that I am more of a success at making good caring firm friends than I thought. They all are so concerned for me, and are so caring and helpful. I have learned a lot from this illness, and I will be a better more successful friend from now on. Marg, it's wonderful to read your words again. It's good to be reminded of what's truly important.
Material success is great.
But not worth a whole lot without all the everyday tiny miracles that make it possible to even pursue it. I'm sorry to hear about your problem, but I am glad that you are able to take something good from it. I wish more people could hone their perceptions of success to apply to their happiness and the important things in life without catastrophic illness. I don't put myself last anymore. I'm glad you've got an understanding of what you need to do to keep yourself healthy.
