Positive outlook

[Guest guest]

Hello CMT People,

I just was thinking here today after talking with some CMT people about having

positive outlook in life. People with CMT some times gets sad or depressed and

this is understable as life can be challenging. However, having a positive

outlook can greatly affect one's overall health and well being. I for one am a

person who does not take meds for depression or pain. Ok so some may think my

CMT is not that bad. Ok well, that is not the case. I just know my

limitations and set them for the physical part of myself (most of the time).

Mentally I need to be in tune with who I am and know that I do the best I can

every day. I count my blessings as I have five beautiful children and a

wonderful husband. Are some days a little challenging---YES they are!!! Do we

work them out--of course. I look at life in the positive light and know that if

I keep this type of attitude then the rest of me will respond with vibrance and

conquer the depression and pain. When I feel sad I talk. When I feel ain I

rest. I have to be this way raising my children and running a child care

program. So all in all I have accepted my CMT and know that is only a small part

of who

I am.

Thanks for listening,

Heidi
