So I originally started this blog when I was very angry. I've gone through many life changes since then :-) I like the name, it is still very appropriate, so I didn't want to change it, but I want to blog again, so I am picking up here and we aren't looking back.
Initially I was going to delete previous posts, but that implies I'm ashamed of them. I'm not. It was how I felt at the time and I won't be ashamed of who I've been....all part the journey to who I am now.
Going forward from here I can promise that the feel and content will much more interesting and easy to follow. That being said...let's get started!
I want to share with the world what living with chronic illness is really like, the ups, the downs and in between. I hope to inspire those who have to live this way as well as those who live with and care for someone with chronic illness. While the road is not easy, it doesn't all have to be up hill. I have been contemplating this change for a while now, but kept excusing my delay with...well...excuses. "It's too hard from my phone", "I'm too tired most the time", "Who wants to read about my boring life?", and so on. Then I suddenly had a large number of followers on Google+, people I had never met, yet they were suddenly interested in me....hmm. okay, as an ordained minister, I'm going to take that as a sign to get off my butt and quit making excuses. As I began to explore these new followers, I found myself more and more inspired to make a difference in this world. I knew what I needed to address, so I just needed to get busy right?
So here I am, trying to do what I know I need to do and what happens? Writers block, lol, typical of me. So I will end tonight with something that inspired me to get off my rump and get started. I hope it inspires someone to go forward like it did me.
When you are thinking about quitting, look ahead not behind. Keep your goals in front of you so you can see where you are going....You already know where you've been. Some say to be happy you have to set the bar high, I say it's a personal choice how high you set the bar. You choose what makes you happy, (we'll get more into those choices soon, I promise). My bar must be set pretty low, for I am a mere seed, that will grow into a tree that will produce fruit, which will produce another seed.
How about you?? Where is your happiness bar set and why?, is it your choice? Look deep within, and we will talk again soon...
Until then, be well and be safe!
