We know living with pain sometimes means we have to cancel plans. We don't like having to do it, and sometimes we beat ourselves up when we do...is this true for you? Have you ever gotten upset or angry with yourself when you've had to cancel plans? What if you were to make a plan for your pain instead of beating yourself up? Nosy and personal questions I know but give them some thought okay?
Hello and Happy Friday to you!! It's the first Friday of the summer and curious nosy me wants to know....How was your week? What did you do for you? What are you going to do for you this weekend? Got any plans yet? If you do...what can you do to help you keep them?

Changing your life does not always mean that you stop doing certain things. It may mean that you start doing certain other things. What you really want to do is nurture the attitude that you are open to learning more about yourself. Accepting more about yourself. This is what will inspire you to do something new. ~~Iyanla Vanzant~~ Picture taken on the pond I got my needles yesterday and my body and brain is feeling out of it today. Thoughts are hard to come by and difficult to keep so I'm going to make this short and wish you a gentle day.
If you're needing some time for you and your needs too...well then I hope you'll take the time to take good care of you. See you tomorrow Tammy You must make a decision that you are going to move on. It won't happen automatically. You will have to rise up and say, 'I don't care how hard this is, I don't care how disappointed I am, I'm not going to let this get the best of me. I'm moving on with my life.' ~~Joel Osteen~~ Picture taken in Collingwood, ON I'm Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired RANT...No one has the right....not even yourself!6/22/2016 No one has the right to tell you that their life is harder than yours.
No one has the right to invalidate your struggles because they "got through it just fine." No one has the right to tell you to suck it up because other people have it "worse." Hardships are not comparable. Your struggles are real, legitimate, and just as difficult as anyone else's. ~~Unknown~~ Now here's my take on that.... Throughout my journey, I've heard some pretty hurtful things and I'm sure you have too. Things that have made you question yourself, your worth, and many other things too. I would be willing to bet that you may have even told some of these things to yourself. Have you? Can you be honest? Have you ever said to yourself..."what am I complaining about when there are others who have it worse?" I've said it to myself...I'll be honest...I've said it to myself when I've seen someone I thought was "worse off" than me. I've compared myself. Have you? What else have you said to yourself? As someone who has struggled with my weight my whole life...when I saw this I wondered. I wondered if it works, would it be safe?, and I even asked myself...would I be willing to be try it, and I think I would.
Now that I'm living a life with pain, I've learned how important it is to get rid of the extra weight...but knowing it and being able to do it are often two very different things. Are you struggling with your weight? Have you tried different diets and still you struggle? You're not alone. Today I'd like to share an article that I found at WebMD.com. This article is for your entertainment only and is not meant to encourage nor promote this procedure. If you have questions about what you read here please talk to your doctor. Losing the extra weight is a healthy goal to managing your pain...explore your options, give thought to your food intake, and even your exercise too...there are things you can do. Hope is sweet. Hope is illumining. Hope is fulfilling. Hope can be everlasting. Therefore, do not give up hope, even in the sunset of your life. ~~~Sri Chinmoy~~ Picture taken at the Pinery And my glasses, and my keys, oh and my wallet too. I really do amaze myself some days ;) I'm amazed my head is still attached to my shoulders! How many times have you wished, said, or wanted...for others to understand? For others to know what you're going through? For others to know what life is like to hurt every day? Have you ever wished for or wanted that? Have you ever been hurt or upset when others didn't, couldn't or wouldn't just understand? I think we all have at one time or another. But has this feeling of wanting others to understand ever left you feeling unwanted, unloved, and a burden to others? What about angry or even resentful? Have you ever felt that way? Living with something that others can't see, that many can't comprehend, something that even our doctors struggle with...can leave us wanting to be understood, to be accepted...just loved and wanted even. But you know what? Sometimes, the people around you won't understand your journey. That's okay! They don't need to. It's not their journey. It's yours. |
