looking back at what I've written
recently, there are some things that stand out -
1) in order to feel hopeful, you
have to have a plan, & having a plan means having not only the perseverance
to carry it out, but also the right team of professionals, & the financial resources. I feel for those were not in this position.
2) I need to be honest with myself,
but being realistic doesn't mean that a negative outcome is a given. Especially if I learn along the way - learning
means growth.
3) Gather info, think things thru,
& be open to opportunity. Let myself
sit with information when I need to, but try not to get in my own way.
4) I am not a static thing - I'm a
human being, which means what I can do today may change in the future - one day
to the next, one week to the next, etc.- try to do the best you/I can.
5) keep communication open, not just
between myself and my professional, but between the professionals themselves. I feel very fortunate to be working with my
medical professionals. It's important
that I'm able to ask questions - for those reading this, if someone you're
working with isn't open to questions, if at all possible, go elsewhere.
6) don't focus so much on where I'm
going, on making progress, to the point that I can't enjoy where I am right now.
