Five minute Friday linkup we set a timer for 5 minutes and write about the word prompt. This week the prompt is willing. Willing. Willing to do what? Willing myself to feel better is what first pops into my mind. Willing myself to think positive to fight the dark cloud of depression. Willing to push through and get stuff done in spite of the chronic pain. Willing to listen to my body and rest when it tells me I need rest. I am willing to bloom where I am planted . I am willing to advocate for others and speak…
I was thrilled to learn that I was accepted into the Chronic Illness Bloggers network recently. Chronic Illness Bloggers Network When I started blogging faithfully at the beginning of this year I had no idea the amazing people I would get to know. As some of you may know I struggle with several health issues. I have to say it is so nice to have someone ‘get it’ when you are struggling with a flare up of one of your conditions. The only way it can be truly understood is if one has gone through it. I need to go…
July Prompts: Planning, Justifying ,Starting, Analyzing & Concluding My summer so far has involved a lot of planning. Planning our vacation, planning my twins 17th birthday. Scheduling and planning doctor appointments. Justifying to myself that it is okay to let the housework slide while I try to get my health issues under control. I feel guilty about that. I feel like I just need to toughen up and get it done. Starting~ I start so many things and then feel guilty because I don’t feel well enough to finish them. Or I run out of time because of the…
Repeating, Wondering, Turning, Getting, Desiring:June Linkup with A Chronic Voice These prompts all jump out at me as feelings around my current struggle with my health. I have been in the E.R. twice in the last 5 days. I was told I was a “medical mystery”. The first E.R. visit they said I was likely struggling with an inflammation flare. The second one after a tick had been found and removed at home and I was running a fever they said it could possibly be a tick borne illness and likely Lyme but that the tests were not showing anything.…
Five Things You Like About Yourself Reading a post over at Nyxies Nook about Self Care and Recovery She asked readers to name 5 things they like about themselves. That same week Ruth Soukup had challenged her readers to name one thing they like about themself. My reply is ” This one is going to be hard for me. I am feeling challenged to think about and write down 5 things. ” The List Here is a list I had started called my best habits. I will use this for my five things I like about me. I had written…
This post is part of the weekly Five Minute Friday link-up Looking Back I missed last seeks 5 minute Friday prompt which was promise. I made a promise to myself that I would get a better routine going to find balance but that didn’t happen. Life got in the way with Dr appointments and stuff happening that I never could slow my brain down enough to make a new schedule or routine. I never completed the meal plan. I had so many plans. Those things are still on my to do list. When looking to see if I had started writing…

My Story of My Chronic Illness Journey Continues Another step in the journey of taking back my health or rather battling my body for my health. Timely since this May which is awareness month for many of the issues I struggle with. The linkup over at A Chronic Voice also tied in. I definitely feel like I have to be a private investigator to stay on top of my health.
A moment of honesty here, Okay it is actually Tuesday and not Friday. I am a few days late but am practicing patience with myself. Instead of getting angry and frustrated that I am not keeping up with my to do list. I am
