People tend to ask the same or similar questions in regards to my illness....
"What does it feel like?"
"How are you?"
"Is it really that bad?"
"What do you do all day in bed?"
And my favorite statement.....
"Well, you look great."
today I feel these questions can be and are maybe best answered with pictures and my requisite quotes, so here goes:
 |
| This is what it feels like |
This is how I am
 |
| It's really that bad |
 |
| What I do all day |
 |
| What I want to do |
 |
| What I try to actually do/be |
Because in my reality.....
So, really, I'm great. Most days 😉 because even though I feel like the first few pictures, I believe that my purpose and the purpose of all of this is to learn and grow. I need to focus on the positive and the amazing amount of great things I have in my life. Because what kind of person would I be if said "well I have an amazing husband who I love more than life, 2 wonderful healthy kids, a huge group of caring and thoughtful friends, a supportive and helpful family, and a warm comfortable house in a fantastic neighborhood, but there's this one thing that isn't so great [meaning my health] so my life sucks and I'll just be a whiny bitch because of it." ?
The answer for me is: not the kind of person I want to be and not the example I want to set for my children. My mountain may be a little taller or steeper than some people's, some have much taller ones, but we ALL have mountains. And they're waiting for us every day when we get up! It's our choice how we climb it and how we let that mountain affect our lives.
What's your mountain today?
