Whew… have you ever had one of those weeks, days, or even months where you felt like you had to fight through all of the days just to survive? Welcome to the time of year healthy people love ,but chronic warriors hate to see. Yes we deal with things all year, but during fall and winter we feel, depressed, alone,angry, helpless,hopeless, and of course in pain. We struggle to find days with sunshine and warmth. Yet each year, we fight through. There is some positive word, token of love, phone call from a friend, or even our journals that help us push that much harder. I said all this to say, please be extra patient with is this time of year. We are a bit more fragile.
