The Gift Of….
We’ve been told there is “The Gift of A.D.D.” and, what was recently brought to my attention, “The Gift of Dyslexia.” All this discussion about ailments really being gifts has made me rethink my opinion concerning this issue. Perhaps I’ve been too critical of this “gift” concept. Perhaps other things are really a gift in disguise. In light of this personal epiphany, I’ve decided to revisit various ailments to see what they would look like if they were considered to be gifts.
The Gift of Diverticulitis: This gift can help you maintain your weight by making it impossible to enjoy many of your favorite foods. In fact, it may make it impossible to enjoy ANY food. What a wonderful gift for the weight-conscious!
The Gift of Alzheimer’s: Too often this is viewed as a negative – loss of short-term memory; inability to care for oneself; loss of control over bodily functions. But there is a positive side to Alzheimer’s. The loss of short-term memory is replaced with memories from the past. Thus your 80 year old grandmother may not remember to eat her meals but now she remembers the wonderful times she had as a child. She is happy again.
The Gift of Polio: It’s a shame that we’ve eradicated polio in the United States. Thankfully it still exists in some other countries. Polio is nature’s way of being creative, of inventing new ways to walk around. (See image above.)
The Gift of Juvenile Diabetes: This is actually the perfect gift for children. It forces them to do what they should be doing anyway, namely, watching what they eat, getting regular exercise and becoming dependent on various drugs created by Big Pharma.

I think the lesson here is quite clear. Stop looking at your afflictions as negatives. Instead, look for the gift that hides within. It may take a lot of creativity to find the silver lining but, rest assured, it’s hiding there underneath your cancer cells.
