Zigzag…

Sometimes, it’s an accomplishment to make it to the toilet. That’s been my past 2 weeks. Between healing from pneumonia and taking the covid vaccine it’s been quite a ride. The fatigue has been unimaginable…changes in weather has incurred an increase in pain. Even still I look forward to tomorrow and what it holds. There’s always some sunshine in the day,you just have to look for it. For me,it’s the awesome conversations I have with my loves ones. This gives me so much purpose. Try it sometimes. The fulfillment will brighten your day unlike anything else.

Carnival of Chronic Illness

If this picture doesn’t describe my life recently. Recovering from pneumonia, then getting vaccinated. Just wow! Vaccines hit really different when you battle certain illnesses. I’ve been so tired I can’t keep my eyes open,literally. It affects everyone differently, but I will be super happy to get a portion of my energy back. It’s really hard to have to just STOP. Shutting down all activities is the bottom of the barrel,yet I’m starting to see some glimmers of light at the end of this very long tunnel…

Sometimes…

I knew from the start of this week that this post would be interesting. My body felt a little off but when does it not. On Tuesday it came to head- diagnosis..pneumonia. Really, I got stuff to do. I guess that has to be put on hold cause I’m tired. No Covid so far so very thankful for that. This reiterates the point that we as chronic warriors have to stop or our bodies will stop us. I hope everyone enjoys the rest of your week and I’ll touch basis next week. Air hugs to all!!

Tough Times..

Have you ever had to be jovial in circumstances when you didn’t feel like it? Or expect to have your lesser pain attitude when around others, even though your body is screaming? You are a normal chronic illness warrior. There are times when being jovial helps to temporarily take my mind off of the pain. Other times I want to disappear. Regardless, what we do every day is a balancing act, that when disturbed, throws everything off. So when people call us lazy, they have no idea.. It really only matters what you look in the mirror and see.

Normal Envy…

Have you ever experienced feeling jealous or envious of people doing things you want to do? Simple feats like running,jumping,exercising evertyday,even holdong down a job. I use the word normal very loosely, I’ve come to realize that normal means something different to everyone. I think more often than not, we would just like to fit in with our family and friends. This is when self-love comes in, not self care love but loving oneself regardless of what we can accomplish. Love the skin you’re in no matter how painful it is. At the end of the day you are unique and that’s a lot to be proud of.
