Be Thankful

Hey everyone! I know it's been awhile since I posted, and I'm sorry for that! I've had a rough six months. I've had 4 hospitalizations, and I'm in the hospital right now for my 5th! It's been a rough 6 months, but like always God always has a lesson for me at the end of all of it!

As I struggled asking God "Why me?" I realized I had been asking the wrong question. Instead I should have been asking "Why not me?". That's a change right? What makes me so different from everyone else not to have CF? Why wouldn't I have this disease? There is nothing that makes me better or gives me the right not to have CF.

After realizing this I started to search for others with CF and their stories, when I did this I found many that were my age and were on lung transplants waiting lists! As I read this it broke my heart and it made me thankful for my health! Yes I've been sick a lot, but at least I'm not being told I'm going to die!

Shortly after reading these stories I decided I was going to become positive and set an example. I've now started to talk to others with CF and encourage them and inspire other with deathly illnesses that they can do anything they want and to fight for it!

Everyone has a struggle. Mine is Cystic Fibrosis, and if I do say so myself I'm kicking its butt.
