You walk this road with these medical condtions, yet you make the choice to live your life fully. That is an amazing testimony for people to hear. I really enjoyed reading about this. Thank you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love the &amp;quot;glass half full&amp;quot; philosophy that you have. I too, share that with you in the various struggles in my life and I must say that it makes all the difference in living. The woman I care for every day, shares this too and I cannot imagine what it would be like if we didn&amp;#39;t. She suffers horribly and yet she, like you, chooses to take each moment and issue and see it &amp;quot;half full&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I too, think laughter is great.

I wish you&amp;#39;d posted this about 3 months ago.  One of my coworkers quit because she was moving out of state and she had Lupus.  She was a young girl, in her 20&amp;#39;s.  She couldn&amp;#39;t tell me much about Lupus and I think it&amp;#39;s partly because she didn&amp;#39;t know herself.  Her family was in another state and she rarely communicated with them, so she didn&amp;#39;t have any support.  I felt sad for her.  I&amp;#39;m sure she&amp;#39;s doing well though and if I hear from her, I&amp;#39;ll send her over to your blog.  I&amp;#39;d like to read more about Lupus, that you&amp;#39;re willing to share.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3211916946754614168/8347626438815491095/comments/default/6206829017015800417'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3211916946754614168/8347626438815491095/comments/default/6206829017015800417'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.thefiftyfactor.com/2009/07/glass-half-full.html?showComment=1247009765468#c6206829017015800417' title=''/><author><name>Aleta</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05605214202876973830</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09314258360860289712'/><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GL4ahsxG3Cg/SbBA5FDgtWI/AAAAAAAANnk/fZ1JtZbn-B0/S220/Gregs+D60Z00+565.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.thefiftyfactor.com/2009/07/glass-half-full.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3211916946754614168.post-8347626438815491095' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3211916946754614168/posts/default/8347626438815491095' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-209614301'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3211916946754614168.post-3561605186110512206</id><published>2009-07-07T16:08:18.237-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-07T16:08:18.237-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Great post!
