In Arthritis Pain and Waiting for More Joint Surgery

So I REALLY KNOW this all will work out.  I'm trying very hard to focus on my abilities and NOT my disabilities.  I was recently making a gift for a friend, and discovered a package of peel-off stickers called "Wonderful Words."  I keep them in my office as reminders to be grateful IN SPITE OF MY Arthritis.  The list often helps me put things in perspective, to be more positive on those incredibly painful days.  Words like trust, dare, pray, hope and believe.

I have arthritis, which is rearing its ugly head more than ever with me right now, but I have a disease, NOT A LIFE SENTENCE.  With God's help and modern medicine, the love and support of special friends and family, I, too, will get better!
