Happiness is found, for me, in small things. I love bird-watching and being in nature, enjoying a meal out, spending time with family. For many years, none of these activities were possible. In my early twenties, I had my doctors (plural) on speed dial, constantly on different medications that wrecked my body. Until my diagnosis, I had never heard of Ulcerative Colitis. It affects people in varying degrees, some barely show symptoms, but I had it severely. I spent much of my time at home, not feeling well and afraid to go out. I didn’t feel - or at times look - like me.
I am healthy and happy once again. The little daily human things put a smile on my face.
I am grateful.
