How do you find joy while coping with a chronic illness? One way is to study and learn about finding joy. The following link contains a blog talk radio recording of Maureen Pratt discussing Finding a Heart of Gratitude and Joy Despite Illness. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/invisibleillnessconf/2009/09/15/Finding-a-Heart-of-Gratitude-and-Joy-Despite-Illness-with-Maureen-Pratt
Diane Keller who lives with FM and Chronic Fatigue, has a wonderfully uplifting and informative site. I have enclosed a link to her page on Joy where she discusses making an extensive list of things that bring us joy and deliberately adding more of those things to our daily life. These joyful things can be as simple as a hot chocolate on a cold day or stroking a purring kitten's fur. http://dianekerner.com/joy.html
"What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes part of us." Helen Keller
