​tips, tools, and strategies
to living life with chronic pain
The past few days have been a painful few for me. My body is screaming at me and I'm struggling to keep on top of it and my coping skills are being tested this week. My mind is worried and a little preoccupied and I have to keep reminding myself...it is what it is and there's nothing I can do about it.

I'm hurting today and my body is saying no and my brain is too. SO...I'll be posting telepathically today... what do you think I'd say? well then...go do it will ya huh? ;) The Facebook page hit another milestone this morning...17,000 friends. What a wonderful surprise to wake up to. Thank you! The page is growing very quickly lately and with it too...some issues. I'd like to address some of them here today. First and foremost...please remember that this site and the Fb page too are my thoughts, my experiences and the things I did and still do today to help me manage my hurting life. I DO NOT expect that your experiences will be the same and I can respect the differences we may have...I ask that you also respect mine. I don't swear at you...so please don't swear at me. I've had to delete a few people this week because I had the immense desire to wash their mouth out with soap. I can appreciate you may not like everything I share here or on the Fb page...but do not swear at me please. And please...I'm not here to tell you how to live your life...and I won't have all the answers...I'm not a doctor. I'm just like you and I hurt too. BUT I am here to challenge your thoughts, to encourage and empower you and I hope to share a laugh as well. Learning to live with chronic pain and/or a chronic illness truly is a journey. It requires coping skills, it takes time, and it takes learning to care for our needs as we need them. We can't change that we hurt...but we can change what we do about it moving forward. Thank you for sharing the journey with me! Please take good care of you Tammy Hello good morning and how are you? HAPPY FRIDAY to you!! How are you doing? It's been a hot one here and it's only getting hotter. I hope you're staying cool. A 4am thunderstorm wake up call got my day going and I think a nap will be in order but on the upside I got to see the sunrise...what a beautiful sight! I hope you have a great weekend and that you find some time for you and your needs too. What can you do for you to help soothe and nurture your needs...emotionally, mentally, and physically too....what can you do for you? Happy Friday to you! take good care of you and your needs too. 21 years ago today I met someone who changed my life dramatically... my daughter Emily. I jokingly refer to her as the love of my life and the bane of my existence all rolled into one...but I'm in love with my kid. Emily...you have challenged me in so many ways, and you've been a rock of comfort too and you've had me laughing so hard I cried. I love you for that babe! and so much more too. We've had some great memories together. Your strength and wanna canna do it attitude amazes me some days. But I know too how scared you are. But I want you to always know you have it in you to do whatever you want in life. Your courage screams some days (every time you ride that board of yours!!) and I've had to plug my ears and keep my fingers crossed...but I know you will do just fine. I love you more today than I did yesterday and I am curious to see the woman you're becoming...a strong, independent, loving and caring person. Chase your dreams babe and make them your reality. (I hope this picture reminds you of that). Love you forever, like you for always xo as long as I'm living my baby you'll be. The Facebook hit another milestone yesterday....15,000 friends. Thank you for flying with me! take good care of you please. I'm a water baby so I go the beach. Where do you go when you need to find your peace? What sounds do you hear? What smells are in the air? What does this place mean to you and why? I hope you make some time to go there and to let yourself feel all the good that it brings you. Go as often as you can and as you need...soothe yourself. these are just a few of the pictures I took that day...I came home smiling I wouldn't say my "give a damn" is broke but I would say...my batteries are run down and I'm outta order. I'm taking today for me to catch up on all the things I didn't do last week. And I'm going to find some time for me too. I hope you have a great day and please... take good care of you...and your needs to. |
