I look for the headline 'attitude is everything for ebola patient ' or 'attitude is everything for guy with diabetes' or 'attitude is everything for those with congenital syphilis' or 'attitude is everything with lead poisoning ' or 'attitude is everything when a dog bites your hand' or 'attitude is everything for gunshot victim' or 'attitude is eveything for a tween with a hangover' or 'attitude is everything for a coyote struck by a Ford F150' or 'attitude is everything for gravity' or 'attitude is everything for the water cycle' or 'attitude is everything for survivor of varicose veins' or 'attitude is everything for dying coral reef'

Reading Anne Boyer's 'The Undying' and thinking about cancer, me/CFS, invisible illness, and the magical thinking that attends.
