No matter how hard it is to overcome the unfortunate bad days forced upon us, by an invisible illness, we must keep our balance. Even if the center of gravity is changing at a daily rate. Work is work, whether you travel to and from work outside or inside the home. Gain is gain, whether it be money or satisfaction. We must learn and teach others about our strife and successes. Our work, even if only to get out of bed each day should be counted as profit. Regaining our lives requires hard work. One thing we each can do to help ourselves, is to keep a diary/calendar to note the weather, possible triggers, and pain levels of each day.
Keep the faith.

You always have such thoughtful posts, thank you! It made me think about my quilting. I started it out as a hobby, and now am trying to earn money doing it because I love it so (and you can only make so many quilts for yourself and family members. Esp in FL).
ReplyDeleteBut your post made me think, would I be doing this, would I have even tried quilting if I had not gotten sick? Would I be "too busy" to slow down for this art?
Thanks for giving me a new perspective on it. You rock :)
