Inspiration | Fighting Fibro with Fire

Courage

I woke up this morning feeling like I spent the night in the dryer with a sack of oranges; I’m honestly amazed that I’m not covered in bruises, it feels like I should be. I’m sore all over, and I feel like I’m hung-over. Not cool, considering I rarely drink, and I certainly didn’t drink anything other than water last night. I’m definitely missing a few of my spoons today.

After being so active (for me, at least) these last few weeks, it’s actually very hard for me to sit here and basically do nothing. I know, I should be wildly grateful that I’ve been able to do the things I have- don’t get me wrong, I am. It’s just difficult to remind myself that these days are going to happen and I have to let them. My natural response is to fight back, but I know that if I do, I’ll be missing even more spoons tomorrow.

So, I’m going to take a deep breath, (or ten), sit back, relax and spend some quality time with my Xbox. Is that what I want to do? No. I want to be out and about, doing my workout and generally feeling productive. Don’t we all? Oh well. For today at least, I’ll have to channel all of that fiery, red-headed rage into defeating the dragons and giants of Skyrim.

I will try again tomorrow.

I Won’t Give Up

My last post was something of a downer, so I wanted to share this lovely quote to try and counteract any sadness. Many, many thanks to my amazing bestie, Heather for passing this along to me! This quote goes right in line with my new outlook, as well as my new favorite song: “I Won’t Give Up”, by Jason Mraz. The song itself isn’t particularly upbeat or anything, and it’s really more about relationships, but it’s the message about not giving up that appeals to me. I won’t give up. Enough said. 🙂
