Howdy Folks,
I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying sunny skies and warm weather. May is in full swing here in Upstate NY. Lilacs and other flowering plants are in full bloom. Which naturally for me means that the last two weeks have been a push/pull battle of disease flare. Yes like the trees and flowers my fibro is in full bloom. I’ve won the battle for the most part but no one see’s my hidden scars and emotional torment that rears its ugly head most often at night. A constant waxing and waning of overbearing fatigue that has made soldiering through the work week all the more difficult with a complete collapse on the weekend. It should come as no surprise that posts have been hit or miss lately and for that I apologize. But not to much. You see this journey has taught me more than a few life lessons over the past six years or so of battling this invisible illness. Most important being that I do what I can when I can and the things I cannot do, I don’t do and feel no guilt about it. So with that I’ll leave you with an inspiring quote that has helped me stay triumphant over these last few weeks and count each and every one of my blessings every single day.
“People need to get it out of their head that they need to accomplish X, X, and X in order to be happy and realize that personal happiness is INTERNAL, and we can choose to be happy with our current life and situation. Weeping will endure for the night but joy comes in the morning”
As always stay triumphant.
