Would you mind if I was transparent with you today?

Despite this smile, there is a very tired and overwhelmed soul behind it. Over the past week and a half, my family has been going through a lot. On the 18th, we lost our last great aunt. Later, my dad was hospitalized and was told his toe would need to be amputated.

The funeral of my great aunt and the surgery of my dad are both happening today, and I am just exhausted.

As a mother and wife, I still have responsibilities. In the present, I am taking my youngest son to see a rare train, followed shortly thereafter by taking my daughter to dance class.

My last meal was barely a mouthful before I had to leave for the funeral.

It's definitely a life-ing moment...

As my body screams at me to rest, I must heed its call. Upon returning from taking my daughter to class, I will silence this phone, eat something good, and relax.

I will not use social media. There will be no crafting for me. No clothes will even go in the washing machine. Tonight, resting will be my priority.

This is my Wellness Wednesday message to you. Be attentive to your body. When you feel overwhelmed, turn off the distractions and rest. When you're well rested, what you put off today will still be there. Honor your body.

From employment to body image, dating to maintaining personal relationships, we know chronic fatigue syndrome symptoms can affect life in many different ways (both good and bad).

“You just have to remembered that wherever you are at your lowest it will always get better.”- Victor Garber

We have had or will have some very difficult times on this journey. It is hard for us to see the positive while we are going through these times, but there is a glimmer of hope that things will get better.

Your glimmer of hope may come from encouragement, seeking help or deciding to stay committed.

Even at your lowest, things will improve. Keep moving forward one step at a time.

Today, I want to re-share a quick resource from the Association of Diabetes Care & Education Specialist on Non-Insulin Diabetes Medication Cost-Saving Resources.

This is a list of drug manufacturers and organizations that provide cost-saving programsthat help people access diabetes medication.

www.diabeteseducator.org/docs/default-source/practice/educat...

Remember that this is not a permanent solution, but one way to help people with diabetes afford lifesaving medications.

It is also important to keep in mind that some companies may have changed eligibility requirements or the program itself since this publication. For updates, visit their websites or contact them directly.
