What have you done "because" of lupus?

It has gotten me to slow down and enjoy the little and big things in life a lot more than I used to.... Taken away perfectionism. I no longer think so much about how things "should" be but work with how they are and that has been a big benefit to me. There are a ton of lessons and gifts I've had from my life with lupus but the biggest one has been:

I have been able to spend a lot more time & quality time with my daughter since I had to quit work and that is the most precious gift lupus has given me.

Of course, I'd rather have reached this point via about any other way, but that's not the way it is! Love this thread Katharine - so much of life is about point of view and a positive attitude and lupus makes it so easy to focus on the negative far too much. Thank you for starting it!
