The body does not give up on us, so we can't give up on it. My goal is always to work with my body, not against it so that it can function efficiently… I also try to remember that there have been pain-free days—which means that this difficult time will be over and give way to a better time… That's where gratitude is so important. Writing gratitude lists to remember all the wonderful things I've experienced has also been really helpful for me.

To do that, we must realize that hope is not just the message and manner of the naturally optimistic; it is the privilege of everyone who believes."
