It would be easy to take a current tribulation and make it a central focus for why life is currently in "sucks" mode. I believe that when you look at things from that perspective, it brings more of the same into your life. I've been very fortunate in that I've had very few real tragedies in my life. This means that I've got an even greater responsibility to not let the little molehills become the mountains I have to climb. It helps to keep my glass full of ice cold and refreshing lemonade. George Hi Meryl,

I’ve found that as with most things in life, perspective matters. It would be easy to take a current tribulation and make it a central focus for why life is currently in “sucks” mode. I believe that when you look at things from that perspective, it brings more of the same into your life.

I’ve been very fortunate in that I’ve had very few real tragedies in my life. This means that I’ve got an even greater responsibility to not let the little molehills become the mountains I have to climb.

It helps to keep my glass full of ice cold and refreshing lemonade.

George

It never got published and sits in that dusty drawer and most of my children are grown...I inserted a lot of "remember when we did this and I wasn't sick" parts to it and it came out much happier and funnier than you would imagine for a book about illness. And it made me happy. Funny, when I was sick I didn’t think about writing a memoir I thought about writing a children’s book that would explain it to my children and their friends.
