Like all those challenging experiences, at the time I was filled with a lot of negative emotion - some of which I have to admit I channeled by pouring a lot of lard into the family's food - but now I'm glad I stuck with it. Not only do I have an array of excellent dinner party stories, but I also got some tangible proof of what I can endure. What doesn't kill us and all that! S. Hi Natasha,
Thanks for the visit and comment!

You just have to get through the tough times, by focussing on the good things, right? Thanks!

I am also a fan! I definitely agree that there is a physical element to feeling positive. I had fairly major corrective surgery a couple of years back and once recovered, could not believe how much better I felt. Getting out and about had all those positive endorphins going like ants at a picnic. Having become a recent admirer of your blog, I think you have a lot to be thankful for - particularly your great sense of humour! S. Thanks Mad Goat Lady,

I find it difficult at times to remember that my glass should be half full rather than the alternative. I am sure this has something to do with the chronic illnesses I suffer from along with the medications used to treat them. Now and then I have to pull myself back into line again and have a quick look around me to see all that I have to be thankful for. Great post..I really enjoyed it :) I must agree..onions are my very favourite vegetable..followed closely by potatoes (unfortunately my hips can vouch for this).
