This is so, so beautiful! I love this story - and your recipe is absolutely wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing - how lovely to read your positive insights about a difficult situation. I had some major health challenges last year too, especially in the autumn lasting a few months (my first months on Medium) - I am no stranger to ill health but this bout hit me hard.
Like you, I stayed focused on the positives and blessings to get me through. And writing on Medium helped a lot.
Thank you for sharing your story and your beautiful insights.
