That's a beautiful quote.

I've been doing a fair amount of crying lately being on this pred. Although, it does make me giggle to imagine all of us watching a sappy movie together-- everyone sobbing into their sleeves at every little thing. We'd be in tears before the intro music stopped.

You hit it right on the head!!! It would be a sobefest, Sad, fun or action I could cry.

Mr. Spok how I'd love to have your feelings right now. yeah, I watched a show last night (Sanctuary) and cried like a baby. I was glad I was alone, explaining to my hubby that I'm blubbering because a character in the movie does this and that is not a cool Jola thing to do

I am more emotional than before, too. I don't think it's the Prednisone in my case so much as a greater sensitivity to life and a gratitude that I'm around to appreciate it. Now if that isn't sappy!

I think I went the other way with my outlook on life. I accept things for what they are and am grateful for all that I have, I want more out of my life but agree with less if necessary. I have always been an agreable person and now even more so. Emotionally I am actually more stable than ever, as in I don't dissolve in face of adversity like I used to but approach things rationally. All this is making my family crazy since I always see everyone's sides and never get mad at anyone. Just serenely go about my business. ooooh how it makes them mad. But I still cry at sad parts of a movie

I want more out of my life but agree with less if necessary.

I really like that. Gonna quote you!

Wegs has also taught me to be much more flexible and amenable. I used to fight everything. Now I'm much better at listening and accepting, rolling with difficulties vs making a big scene over them. Not great, just better. I still have some scenes.

[Doug]

I'm more accepting, am a more-mellow-less-abrasive sort of fellow than I used to be. For a time I thought this had to do with drugs I wasd on, but now I realize it's a mindset, not a chemical thing that will go away. I'm more content and work to maximize each day, appreciate each blessing: anyone crying yet???

I think I am just plain "LOCO"

That made me chuckle just when I needed it.
