How I did it: I stayed in a positive frame of mind. I stayed compassionate, loving and giving to others in the months before. People want to give back to people who make them feel good about themselves. If I have negative thoughts about others, I try to transcend it and see what is behind their behavior. People gave me gifts and cards. People came by just to tell me happy birthday or hug me. My husband sent me roses and took me out to eat. One person found a rendition of happy birthday being sung on u-tube. I felt loved and appreciated.

Lessons & tips: 1. If you want people to love you then you must be willing to be the person that you want them to be. You must love and give to them first. People back away from needy people. We all only have but so much energy to expend on a daily basis. Be grateful for whatever others are able to do.

Resources: U-tube.
