Very well put, Suzanne. It is SO hard to "have it all" AND endo. People think you're complaining when you shouldn't be, but that's not the case at all. I am grateful for my life and all it's awesome perks like my family, home, friends, etc. I try my best to keep the pain and my obsession with this disease away from everyone because I don't want it to get in their heads, too. Every once in a while, it's necessary to spill your guts to someone, and I'm so happy for the support (including this forum) I have. But for the most part, it feels like something only I can deal with, ya know? I mean, if I talked about it even half as much as I thought about it, I'd never talk about anything else but pain and suffering! It's definitely worthwhile to count ALL the blessings we have and keep thinking of them on a regular basis. Especially the little things that most people may take for granted, like a beautiful sky. Or when your daughter fingerpaints. I like to think about my husband after he finishes a tough DIY project succesfully. He gets so happy with himself and he gets the best smile. He's a very handsome guy, too, so that doesn't hurt! haha! I hope you are doing well today. Please write more poetry! Love, Cindy
