When I was felled by Lyme, my college roommate Tracey said, “I know you don’t see it this way right now, but your Lyme battle is going to change your life in good ways, too.”
My immediate response was, “Yeah, right. Lyme is a nightmare.”
It’s easy to focus on the dark side.
But she’s right. Now that I’m a little better, I see that chronic illness definitely gives you perspective about what’s important.
Sure, I miss out on a lot of life. But what I can do, despite limitations, is somehow sweeter. Exhilarating, even.
