Re: How PF has improved my life

I appreciate each day more. I appreciate my husband more. I do not run around half crazy because of some schedule I didn't make and can't keep up with. I do not mind sitting at red lights or standing in line to purchase something. Because I can stand in line and drive myself around and work. I have learned to say NO. I don't feel guilty about not doing something or going somewhere when I just don't feel like it. I don't say Oh I'm fine when I'm clearly not. Good question Bruce. You get points for asking it.
