Eye Of The Tiger - Survivor

Gotta keep writing. alsdkjfaklsfslkjf. agh. This sucks. Gotta do something about it.

I just finished reading When Bad Things Happen To Good People. I disagree somewhat with the author's main argument, but I like what he says about compassion. In crisis, more than ever, we need understanding and patience. Too often we're quick to judge a situation because we're afraid. We're human beings; we look for logic and patterns to explain or justify tragedy. But we don't have all the answers. Sometimes really, really, really bad stuff just happens. It's not fair.

The most meaningful gift we can give is to comfort each other, to know we're not alone.

We're thinking of starting a support group locally and online for POTS patients. Too much suffering going on here. Time to get some federal funding for POTS research. Time for change. Stay tuned.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

peace,
emma
