Gratitude is the attitude… | November 26, 2025

A wise woman once told me: “When you wake up in the morning — before you get out of bed — think of 5 (or 10!) things that you’re really grateful for.” (I think 10 is a bit of a stretch.)

That simple advice, changed my attitude. And my life.

So, here we go…

1. I am forever grateful to have the Epilepsy Talk family as part of my every day. (And night.)

2. For me, helping people is life’s largest joy.

3. To all of you who give so generously and share your wisdom with compassion.

4. I’m grateful for the privilege of knowing you all.

5. Without you, my life would not be complete.

    I’ll give it a shot…

    1. I have to say I’ll be forever grateful for the surgery I had in December, 2000. The last 25 years were seizure-free.
    2. For my epileptologist and neurosurgeon who made #1 possible.
    3. For the courage I gained from #1 which made the next nine surgeries I had seem like nothing.
    4. For the people here and on other sites related to epilepsy for giving me a chance to help people and make me feel I’m paying back for #1.
    5. For family and friends who keep calling me “walking miracle”. I call it luck.

    I've been a professional copywriter for over 35 years. I also had epilepsy for decades. My mission is advocacy; to increase education, awareness and funding for epilepsy research. Together, we can make a huge difference. If not changing the world, at least helping each other, with wisdom, compassion and sharing.
