Distract Me

It is called Lullaby on tealyra.com.

Not bad tasting at all and it helps me so much. The most common tea I have had most often all these years! 🫖☕️🎂

Honey and a splash of cream and I am ready for bed!

Honestly, sometimes you just need to take a break from talking about health. Not only is it valid and very necessary to take a break from your symptoms and emotions from time to time, but it can be especially important to define your identity outside of those labels. (But we know how tough that is when your lived experiences are all-consuming! It’s all about balance, friends.)

So we’re curious what else you like to discuss. The weather? Your hobbies? Pop culture? Food? Nostalgic trips down memory lane? Travel? Your pets? Your kids?

It’s not just a Kit Kat candy bar theme song, folks — we all need a break sometimes! What have you had just about enough of lately?

Maybe it’s a pesky symptom like fatigue or nausea; perhaps you’re exhausted from financial stress or important decision-making. Or maybe you just really need a break from people-ing in the form of a solo vacation, time off work, or a pause on family functions.

Speak it into the universe (aka the comments) and maybe, just maybe, it’ll come true!

I use to resent having to keep going and yes while life can be extremely hard especially being bedbound, I have been able to use my knowledge and experience to help many others. Finding optimism in every seemingly bad thing can be a challenge but we don't get better with no practice 😉

Things may seem like the darkest depths. But no amount of darkness can put out a small candle.

A small flicker of hope can sustain. I am living proof of that.

29 years of pain, 17 of constant pain so severe death would seem a blessing if I hadn't experience first hand the dearth and sadness suicide leaves behind.

Death may seem a blessing but we only get this one life and time doesn't have to be wasted as we wait for answers to our health or treatments or a cure. Or, in my case, a good knowledgeable doctor who wants the best for their patients.
It took me hundreds of doctors to find these three meant for me at last and I know a time will come when they will retire and I must find another good one.

Life has more sunshine to warm you than you can ever know until you live it. I have found more joy in the last year than I have thought possible. A long time coming but all the sweeter. Life is a GIFT.

No matter what, we go on!

I was hoping to succeed at catching a pic like this. Imagine my happiness when I found this in my camera photos! Haha!

Tomorrow is her 5th bday so her 3rd toy in a week was given to her today! 3 more to come! (Amongst her many others of course 😉)
