 “Gratitude was something I didn’t have before”

I am here traveling the world after being chronically unwell for many, many years. I was almost housebound for four years and I thought I would never, some days I never thought I would see the outside of my house. And now I’m traveling the world and it’s given me an entirely new perspective on life and I’m so happy to be here.

I don’t stress as much as I used to about everything. I don’t worry as much as I used to. I’m happier. I’m happier with the world, with people. I’m kinder to people. I just have a whole new outlook on life. I’m so grateful. Gratitude was something I didn’t have before that happen to me.

I have a little sausage dog and he is floral. He has a floral rose pattern on him. I’m a veterinarian nurse. That is something I am able to do again now that I’m well. I love what I do, to keep them healthy. And that is why I get up every morning.
