    I used to dream of being a famous singer. But, no one seemed to care. #Depression #Anxiety #EmotionalHealth

    I first started singing when I was a child. I remember leading a song on stage in Preschool. It made the local newspaper.
    I always used to write songs to sing for my family. I always used to try out for talent shows. And I always used to volunteer to sing at local events in my community.

    But no one seemed to care. I had someone tell me today that they didn’t know I wanted to be a singer. They thought that I was just singing for fun. I couldn’t believe my ears. I’m heartbroken really. It’s just so frustrating when that was my original passion. I have written countless songs.

    I have recorded music and uploaded some to social media. But no one took my singing seriously. The only thing that has been given proper recognizion are my books. It seems that maybe people felt I fit the mold of an author better?

    But being an author wasn’t my first choice. I wanted to be singer more than anything. I am happy with being an author though. Its just that I wanted to be a singer more then an author. You know what I mean?

    Anywho, it’s over now. I’m in my thirties and it seems my path has been chosen. But I plan to write a book on how I used to want to be a singer but it wasn’t taken seriously. I still write as a singer hobbyist. I even have a song out on Spotify. But even with that release it only received small numbers from family and friends. But with my books it gets big number of support.
    Funny huh?

    What are you grateful for? What can you be thankful for to keep you holding on during tough times?

    Please let's all share our blessings in life that we are thankful for. In
    dark and trying times (like right now), I try to always remember the things I am grateful for and remind myself that without any/all of them my life could be much less manageable

    I am grateful for:

    -Being alive!
    -Being able to walk, even if I need mobility devices
    -Having a roof over my head
    -Having food on the table
    -Having great doctors, nurses, my therapist, my shrink, numerous specialists and my clinic - and having the insurance to pay for them - as well as insurance to pay for my many medications!
    -Having a strong network of family and friends and always being able to know that I am loved and supported ...and
    -Having my relative health - things could always be worse!

    What are you thankful for?

    Maybe thank someone who you are grateful for and let them know how helpful they are and how much it means to you to have their support. Sometimes people don’t know how much they impact other’s lives!

    Motivational Monday: Your Health Is Your Responsibility

    “If you think taking care of yourself is selfish, change your mind. If you don’t, you’re simply ducking your responsibilities.”- Ann Richards

    You should never feel guilty about taking care of yourself. Your health is a priority and your responsibility.

    Motivational Monday: Remain Calm & Patient

    “Finding a way to remain calm and patient in moments where diabetes interrupts your life is key” - Nick Jonas

    The effects of diabetes are felt in every aspect of our lives. When diabetes interferes with daily life, it can be very frustrating. It takes a lot of patience and willpower to not freak out when you're dealing with blood sugar fluctuations or other complications.

    The ability to remain calm, have patience, and give yourself grace can be extremely helpful when dealing with diabetes. This will prevent us from experiencing diabetes burnout and depression.

    Surviving is just part of the journey…making the most of the time it gives you and realizing there can be good times despite the struggles is a gift!

    It’s not all about survival, there is a lot of living to do along the way. Although at times I feel like I am just treating one ailment after another, all day every day (which is true right now) I’ve decided why take all the time and energy it takes to survive everything unless I don’t enjoy how the time given to me by surviving is ripe for good times too.

    Recently I have mostly been homebound except to go to health appointments… doctors, PT & OT, clinics, therapy etc. and then only with a walker and the benefit of handicapped parking spots. But I try to continue to celebrate the gifts I have in life, be thankful for the blessings I have that make life just a little more bearable and remind myself of what I’ve been through, how I’ve survived and what I’ve learned from these experiences. If I consider all this, then I must be a very wise man 😉 I may have dropped out of college but I have a Masters degree from the School of Hard Knocks … the diploma is not needed, I know I have accomplished it and need no reminder…I’m still alive after all!

    Tough times have given me the chance to tap into my inner strength and I’ve also grown along the way. I don’t have to wait to celebrate the good times when I am experiencing some right now despite what I’m going through!

    Thank you all for the love, support, thoughts and prayers, I certainly couldn’t have done this alone!

    Heart Smile Of The Day

    Today I woke up without a blistering migraine . The first time in almost two months. I happily feel like a part of humanity today. I think I’ll go for a walk under the pine trees and enjoy what Nature brings me.
    That works for me. ☀️😁

    Just a Sunday morning thought

    Regardless of what we struggle with, we all have talents and abilities that offset our illnesses. For instance, I experience mental illness, migraines and arthritis yet I also excel at education and writing. Find out what you excel at and embrace it. Don't let your illness rob you of that. #Health #MentalHealth #EmotionalHealth #ChronicIllness #illness
