Many of us cancer survivors speak about gratitude after our diagnosis. We no longer take a new day for granted. We are grateful to be alive, to spend another day with our family and friends, and to have hope for a new chemo regimen or treatment to keep us going.She has myelodysplastic syndrome, which is rare, and would love to communicate with others who have MDS.
Recently, I read a quote by a famous graphic designer, Milton Glaser, who possesses the remarkable gift for taking ordinary objects and designs illustrations of them into an extraordinary piece of art. “If you perceive the universe as being a universe of abundance, then it will be. If you think of the universe as one of scarcity, then it will be…I always thought that there was enough of everything to go around—that there are enough ideas in the universe and enough nourishment.”
Wait—these ideas are new aspects of gratitude. Gratitude is not just about things, being alive and nature. Gratitude includes ideas, thoughts, art, love, caring, and sharing, which are all beautiful!
