SheilaW,

I know that so many of us come here to vent, but we also need to remember the good that is still in our lives, not just what we have lost. For example, I am grateful every day for the people on this site. I would not have met so many dear, wonderful people if I had not dd not suffer from a chronic illness.

And, although I try to be kind to everyone I meet, it seems to be those closest to us that bare the brunt of our crankiness. My grandmother also told me to treat those closest to you as you would when meeting someone for the first time. If you think about it, we treat strangers nicer than we do our families.

Thank you again for reminding us of all we should be grateful for.

DeAnne
