Dear V.J.,
I hope you will be able to experience the positive outlook of what you wrote to/for yourself all these years ago. It’s a challenge to hold onto that hope when we feel really low.
Best wishes,
Tanja

I love this so much VJ! You captured the very essence of what acceptance means when we live with chronic illness. I especially love that last line – “It also keeps possibility alive.” That’s so critical!
