One of the Greatest things

[Guest guest]

The greatest thing about having this illness is having friends such as you all

who are so helpful and understanding, and caring. Blessings to all of you. I'm

glad to be in such good and excellent company

I do love this group, too! But I've found another benefit (if one can be

found) in the fact that hcv woke me up to the need for taking care of

myself. ly, if not for the hcv, I would most probably have developed

something else even more lethal (like heart trouble etc.) because I never

quite felt right about taking time for myself to do exercises, meditation

(well, I did meditate some, but not as regularly as I needed to), and most

especially, prayer. I'm also more careful about what I eat--even when

family calls it being " picky. " End result? I feel better than I have in

years.

Sometimes blessings come in strange packages.

I had already started going down the road of greater health by losing 50

pounds and quitting smoking then along comes hepatitis C. Hepatitis C

forced me to realize I needed to get off my butt and do something

meaningful with my life but I'm still trying to figure out what that

should be.

Doug,

You're already doing something incredibly meaningful, even if you don't realise

it. You're here, you're supporting and helping others. You reach out and touch

the lives of many people you'll probably never meet. You are an incredibly

caring human being. I think that's very meaningful my friend.

Doug,

All kidding aside, Can I recommend a book for you? " Loving God " by

Colsen. Colsen is an exceptional writer, regardless of your religions preference

or lack thereof.
