THANKSGIVING

[Guest guest]

Acceptance and Thanks. These two. All that life was before Lyme and all that

life is with and after Lyme. Each day there is in the life of each person a

place for thanks. At the very least, one no longer takes health for granted,

and is thankful for this awakening. One no longer can make others responsible

for ones life and health. At the very least one is thankful for this new

perspective. No longer can one ignore the suffering of others - all others who

are in pain. At the very least one has a new appreciation for compassion and

sharing, for helping and enduring. One can be thankful for this kind of

spiritual growth. It is an act of thanksgiving to seek meaning in the

meaningless and to seek hope in despair. It is an act of thanks to lift up

another who is depressed and has given up. It is an act of thanks to know love

and to give love. It is an act of thanks to forgive those who do not know what

they do. And for us who do know - we are thankful for that knowledge and that

we are no longer in the dark.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.
