Learning to Cope

This summer has been great so far, with my thyroid issues and everything. I have great friends and family that are helping me cope. In my own personal study, I came across this thought by James E Faust:

"Why is adversity often such a good schoolmaster? Is it because it teaches so many things? Through difficult circumstances we are often forced to learn discipline and how to work. In often unpleasant circumstances we may also be subjected to a buffeting, a honing and a polishing that can come no other way".

Thoughts like these from people like him are tremendously helpful in my learning to cope with sickness journey. Guess what? The journey has kind of been a blast.

Other things helping me cope? Those cute kids pictured above, and their Daddy(not pictured).
