We indeed have to be thankful for everyday and treat it as a gift. As they say, that is why it is called the present. I am just happy to be alive and able to see my grandson grow up. I am also thankful that, although I am technically on life-support, I can still work and enjoy everything (even with a fluid limit and 3 days a week dialysis).
I must admit to feeling a bit trapped because I can't travel as I used to, but I am thankful for the travelling that I have done, in Europe and the Caribbean and New York. I cannot complain. Many who are well have not had the experiences that I have had, so I can take it easy now.
That's so true. I appreciate little things now like the warm sunshine after such a long cold winter. I see things differently now, I can see the good in things, in everything. Life is what you make it, I control my life dialysis does not control me.
