Saturday January 31, 2015 marked my one year anniversary on a transplant waiting list. I continue to wait - hoping for 2 new lungs!-and have taken a few moments to reflect on what this last year has meant to me. Amazing as it is to say, I do declare that 2014 has been a joyful year. Life can be a challenge when you are carting around an oxygen supply, but the good news is that I am here today to talk about it. Since I must be as healthy as possible when my call comes, I have focused on exercise, what I eat, and keeping stress at bay. I believe that I truly "get" what it means to not sweat the small stuff and to do what is good for me.
The other day I was hanging out online with a transplant support group that I am a member of. On this day, the discussion was focused on wait times and how not to go crazy. For me, the first 60 or so days were pretty nerve wracking. I swear I used to watch my phone, but darned if my vigilence did not cause the phone to ring.
Anyhow, it was here that I heard that waiting is all about: Attitidue, Fortitude and Gratitiude. Wow I thought, how simply brillant is that? If I stay positive while really focusing on what is important to me at this time in my life, in the end I will be grateful.
And you know what? My being here at WA, at this complicated time for me, will also serve me well if it is directed by Attitude, Fortitude and Graditute. I am confident that I have found the training, the platform and the community that I need to succeed.
