Title: What have I learned in a year?
Post by artonio7 on Nov 18^th, 2007, 4:12am

What have I learned in a year?

I learned that I am not alone.

I learned that my pain is not my own.

I learned that doctors are not always right.

I learned how to be proactive in my health care.

I learned that pain is nothing to fear.

I learned that fear is something to confront.

I learned that helping others is the best way to help yourself.

I learned that there is a God.

I learned that my family is larger than I could ever imagine.

I learned that sometimes a bad thing can be a beautiful gift in disguise.

I learned that feeling sorry for myself is a waste of precious energy and time.

I learned that treating others with respect is a gift that I give myself.

I learned that listening to others problems is sometimes the best medicine.

I learned that holding a grudge can break my back.

I learned that I have so much more to learn.

I learned that it's good to laugh at myself.

I learned that people really do care.

I learned that people with cluster headaches are a force to be reckoned with, applauded for their; strength, courage, compassion, helpfulness, determination, sense of humor and humanity.

In this past year my life has changed in so many different ways I can never begin to list or name them all. I can never begin to thank you enough for everything you all have done for me. Today I celebrate not a milestone or the passing of a year... Today I celebrate all of you... my brothers and sisters.

Thank you.

with warm regards,
Tony

Also consider adding to your list:
