Inspiring Words to Uplift a Mood?
We are seeking quotes to inspire and gather encouragement when life gets us down. Living with a chronic illness can bring dark days and loss of hope. Is there a saying or a famous quote, a pearl of wisdom that brings some positive light to your life when you feel that you are at the end of your rope?

Gretchen,
Great quote.
Yes, it takes slot of courage and time to accept what you cannot change.
I read somewhere that it takes an average of seven years to accept a chronic illness; I don’t remember the source.

One can always see a rainbow if they look for it.
Which is true when one thinks about all the babies that were born with CF

Clee,
Thank you for your positive words.
Yes, many children live with much worse their entire lives. We must support one another to deal. With our current challenges
Gretchen,
Great quote. We must continue to try to live in the moment and spend less time worrying about the future
“Positive thinking is more than just a tagline. It changes the way we behave. And I firmly believe that when I am positive, it not only makes me better, but it also makes those around me better.”

Hello! I agree wholeheartedly!
Positive thinking keeps us out if the term “ the mud hole”, used frequently in psychology. Thinking negatively oonky makes things worse as difficult as some of our challenges may be.
I strongly recommend reading a Norman Vincent Peale book on this subject.
Have a pleasant day!:)
