they are great reasons for YOU ted. They just don't do it for ME. Thinking that "someday" there will be happiness is very depressing and frustrating. Thinking that I will only get a good day "occasionally" is very depressing and frustrating and there is no one who 'needs' me and I believe my condition IS permanent.
If your reasons help you to fight and live the best you can, that's what matters. They just aren't good reasons for me. Thanks though. I used to say "I wish for....." but now I don't even bother wishing. All the best to you Ted.tina
