“A lesson came to me as a parable when I was first ill. I saw that our battle was not in the circumstances but in our attitude towards them. It is as if we stand at an elevator panel within ourselves. We have the choice of pushing the down button of self pity, bitterness and resentment, three separate thoughts that can bind themselves together. Or we can push the up button and just draw closer to God because of the extremity of the problem.” by Laurel Lee Thaler Link is to her biography.

That is a great quote. I just was reading a book on the brain. When we encounter stimulus of any kind we attach emotions to them which guides us as to how to deal with our perceptions in the future when we encounter similar things. If we choose to think positively and thank God for those things then it is a lot easier dealing with them and we can embrace those difficulties! love you Libby
