Accepting my illness

I was wrangling with some complicated feelings yesterday in therapy. My doctor said to me "your family has made peace with your illness " and I said " and so I should too?" And she said "exactly."

I'm still keeping up the fight to do good work. I think it's a balance to keep fighting forward with a quality effort in life but also coping.

I do feel old this morning, well a little bit, and I have to keep at life enjoying "where I'm at" rather than thinking joy is somewhere else.

my family may be super successful and I live as I do but I need to muster the spirit to hold fast to my life and goals rather than 'throw myself under a bus' metaphorically speaking.

Work starts in a little bit!! Have a great day everyone!! Your lives are special!!

your experience is too!!
