This illness has taught me one thing
To focus on the positives in life
It’s the little things that matter
And they can make you happy
It has changed my perspective
Some things I used to rely on
Don’t matter anymore
I am more at peace with myself
I am proud of the smallest achievement
From getting out of bed
To fulfilling a to do list
Or going out socially after a long day
I know I have to rest more
But when I’m out I waste no time
I praise myself for everything
Because life is just too short
I have learned to appreciate life
Appreciate every precious moment
Appreciate I am still breathing
And that I can still smile
Life goes by so quickly
There’s no time to worry
I try to live in the now
The future is the future for a reason
