We all strive to do our best…to put our best face forward…to project an image of strength…yet, inevitably, we will have those low points. I like to visualize these as “bumps” in the road…
A few days ago, I was dealing with one of those low points. The overwhelming pain, fighting with insurance for the much needed medication change, dealing with my advocate regarding the Social Security Disability….not to mention the financial pressure…add in an even more severe headache than “usual”…and it did drag me down!
At times it just feels that I have no control over anything anymore! Yet…this is NOT true! I ALWAYS have control over my attitude…how I am going to view the world around me. Believe me…this was not a quick turn around…it took nearly half a day for me to be able to refocus my mind.
As difficult as it can be to maintain a positive attitude, I find myself blessed whenever I do choose that positive road rather than the negative road. No…it does not make the pain or symptoms go away…it does not diminish them…what it does is even more important…it strengthens my mental resolve! It helps to recharge my desire to view my life as a glass that is half full!
Our lives are further complicated due to our combinations of conditions/illnesses…however, those same conditions/illnesses do not have to dictate how we view ourselves or the world around us.
