seasons of change

     Right now we are "in between" seasons as summer has wrapped up, fall is unwinding and soon we will be in the throes of winter.  One of my favorite holidays of the year, Thanksgiving, is approaching and with it comes the chance to reflect on all that we have to be truly grateful for in our lives.
     This time of year also prompts me to re-examine my RA status; medications, treatments, plans for the new year, changes I want and need to make, etc.  I really like to do this before the new year begins as it gives me time to digest and decide what is best for me in the coming year.  I don't want to find myself at year end wishing I had made some changes I did not get around to and then entering a new year with no plans and feeling at loose ends.
     I am often teased about being too highly organized but I have to say that when it comes to managing my RA being organized is something that has made my life so much easier and I am truly grateful for having that trait!  Whether it is planning for trips, RX's renewals, doctors appts., exercising, etc. the ability to plan and has been a key to living well with RA!
     Which brings me back to being thankful and how that simple attitude permeates my life and informs every day I spend on earth.  Without gratitude I would be much less of a complete person and certainly a lot less capable of managing RA!
