______ great job. After that was the dream of raising a family. Then there was retiring and enjoying my life. Each dream postponed my
_____ (happy) a little further.

______ to wait for life to become perfect. These days I still occasionally suffer
_______ the disease, but I heal it by knowing that I can choose love and joy every second of my life.
