Perspective

Making choices! It can be difficult from the most mundane decision to the very important decision. Like from what to eat for dinner to deciding to what shingles for a new roof. Yet the hardest choice for me can be how to view my circumstances. This is a daily choice. Actually a moment by moment choice. Do I choose to be frustrated and discouraged because I'm tethered to oxygen 24/7? Or how I get tangled in tubing so many times a day? My lifeline leash has limits to my independence. Yet I do have the choice to be thankful for where and how I am today. Live in THIS day! I chose to remember the journey and where I was a year ago My visit to my pulmonogist was an eye opener yesterday When i pressed him for a prognosis he replied, "It is hard to know what the long term prognosis is because most of the people as sick as you didn’t survive. And we are only 2 years into this to know what long term is." That really shook and shocked me. I'm in a small percentage of critical covid patients that survived. I knew that but I do not always grasp it. Does that make sense? So today tubing tangles are a symbol of survival. Be thankful in all things. It is all about perspective! I choose joy.
