So in my journey right now, a bit of pep talking or appreciation for my life as it is is in order of the day. It just seemed like I was failing to appreciate where opportunity was consistently presenting itself. Where I come from, an unappreciative child is called spoiled; a woman, bitchy. Not wanting to be spoiled :) I figure I really need to practice appreciating a bit, develop the habit!
And so, on day two of mustering up on purpose a shout of hoorah for me, I've an ostomy! I could be dead or in pain, but instead, I smile and sit comfortably again. My stoma stifler has me invincible in public or close contact, go ahead and sit on the couch and chat with me for a while. I've nothing to fear and nothing to hide, so nice is peace of mind. My body got very ill and while it didn't heal just yet, it is still true that I have a chance and meanwhile, I have quality of life and hope to which I hold with delight. Hooray hooray I've an ostomy, today I'm feeling good in my body and all is right with me
