I wish this type of ass-kicking could be the quick, hard, trashing then it's over like normal ass-kickings, but really it's more like treading water. Endurance ass-kicking. New Olympic sport. There's a bunch of us doing it--you're not alone. Keeping you in my thoughts.saurouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16662403017320806603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251345393759638797.post-65282048355486655742010-12-08T22:50:16.972-08:002010-12-08T22:50:16.972-08:00Thanks.

Not giving up on myself is hard, especially as the holidays approach and everyone notices that I'm not all smiley and dishing out the peace, love, and happiness. Finding a mentor who really believes in me is simultaneously both amazing and terrifying, as my brain keeps telling me that she's just another person I'll disappoint.<br /><br />But. I must keep moving forward. Find things I enjoy. Walk the dog. Knit. Sew. Read again. Blog a bit. Exercise. Eat. Keep on fighting my crappy chronic illness. Because letting it win isn't an option.<br /><br />However, we're all entitled to a few days now and then of admitting that chronic illness does, in fact, suck, and that it's exhausting to be so strong all of the time.<br /><br />So, keep on fighting, but don't feel awful for needing a break once in awhile. It doesn't make you any less awesome.CLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16982166121245297370noreply@blogger.com
