I POSITIVELY have Crohns

Here's a depressing thought. I have posted this blog address to two Crohns' sites and I also have a Facebook page of the same name. I have one blog follower and three FB page members. Now, I am not complaining and I truthfully find this to be a bit more funny than depressing. It simply proves the point I am trying to make. It's easier to jump on the bandwagon and be a complainer than to turn your situation into something good and share that.
Take a look at the sites. Read the postings. Often, they start as an information gathering venture then turn into a fest of sharing all the terrible things that someone has gone through. Again, I do not negate that with a chronic illness there are times that are bad; however, it is clear that most people focus on that aspect.
Everyone is trying to find a place to have their feelings validated. We all know the pains of Crohns. It's time to share some of the positive things that we have experienced in our journey.
There are people we have met, things we understand better and breakthroughs we could share. You can inspire those around you by being bigger than this disease. Share the positive!
