Friends for dinner!

Well, obviously, we had friends over for dinner tonight. During the conversation, we talked about preventative health issues and how attitude plays an important role in restoring one to full health after an illness. Our friend commented that she was always impressed by the fact that I have remained so upbeat and positive throughout this whole experience - even when I did not know what the outcome would be.

I told her that the main reason was the comment that I made to all of you the other day - I was not afraid to die! That's the worst thing that could have happened to me and, as long as I did not fear it, then there was absolutely nothing for me to worry about. After that life was like the song that goes "Don't worry, be happy". And, if I was positive and upbeat, then there was no reason for everyone around me not to be positive and upbeat as well. And all of that aided me greatly in my recovery.

But, most importantly, your thoughts and prayers have contributed so much. I cannot thank you all enough.

So, another great day as my recovery continues apace and we look forward to a very special Thanksgiving Day next week...
