In all honesty, I know it has made me a stronger and better person in ways. There's nothing I can do about the damage that is done right now, so why get stuck in that? When we feel good, we should just allow ourselves to feel good. Thanks for the reminder, Cathy :)Ponyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15502461808889145260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078059806926332516.post-18290368791611482362010-07-01T11:37:29.718-05:002010-07-01T11:37:29.718-05:00Well I hope that the relaxed feelings are PERMANEN...Well I hope that the relaxed feelings are PERMANENT Cathy. It makes life easier when we feel somewhat normal. And Sophia is right – the positive is always there. Our kids, regardless of chronic illness in our lives, give us a reason to feel positive and it is wonderful and fortunate that have them. My ten year old, like Sophia, is wise beyond his years and it helps me on the days when I feel so darn right awful.Living It, Loving Ithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03194896483256964340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078059806926332516.post-55813661038333176992010-07-01T09:22:55.762-05:002010-07-01T09:22:55.762-05:00Wow, thanks for sharing this wise lesson Cathy (an...Wow, thanks for sharing this wise lesson Cathy (and Sophie). I'm so glad you had that month too (here's to many more). This is how I've had to reflect back on my Italian vacation too. At least I had those 8 days, no matter how I feel now. The tricky part is incorporating how I viewed life and my body into life back here in New York now that my disease is very much present again. <br /><br />You daughter sounds just like you...special and wise. If you're living with pain day in and day out, I think it's so important to incorporate this "living in the moment" attitude in whatever capacity you can. Thanks again for this reminder :)Mayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12464918027158800223noreply@blogger.com
