At the time I had suffered for a couple of months with joint pain, stomach pain, feeling like I had the flu all the time and feeling very weak. The pain and the flu feeling was so bad, that the only relief I could get was having 4 - 6 hot baths a day. I have always been an exercise fanatic and the pain stopped me from exercising which was very frusrating.

Today, I live my life with that exact same attitude, and not a day goes by where I don't say thanks for the wonderful things I have in my life. I am not just talking about material things either, I give thanks for my eyesight, my friends, for knowing the feeling of love, my family, the smell of the sea. The list is endless.
