Why do good times have to come to an end? 😩 If I could bottle up my good days and save them to use when I wanted to, I would be in heaven. Today I can honestly say was a GOOD day! When someone asks me “how are you today?” I usually respond with “I’m ok”. I try not to ever respond, “I feel like I’m dying” or “I feel like absolute %*$!!” Mainly because I can’t even explain how I feel or why it’s so bad some days or even some hours compared to others. Two because the list of things wrong with me is so long and is so strangely complicated that if I even tried to tell you, you would most likely get lost in translation and I’d probably lose my train of thought as well🤪. Thanks to my lymie brain. And last, because I don’t always want to be such a Debbie downer with my list of health problems and how badly I feel on a day to day basis. It gets depressing so I try to always be positive. But today... today was a wonderful day. I woke up clear headed and it stayed with me all day! I enjoyed my conversations with people, I didn’t want to stop talking. The smile on my face was so genuine I don’t think I stopped smiling. I could actually speak and think of my words, I walked around the school today as the recess teacher and didn’t think of pain once! I left work and came home and didn’t need to come lay in bed before picking up my kids from school an hour later. I let Owen invite two friends over from school to play. I got to meet a few girlfriends from my bible study for ice cream tonight who I haven’t seen in so long. All this without once having to go lay down in bed and crash. I was on fire today. You could say, I was living in a normal functional human body. I was on cloud nine. In the greatest mood, that no one or nothing could talk me out of it.
You wouldn’t even know that just two days ago I was sick in bed with aching pain everywhere, my joints were on fire, a migraine that started during the night and lasted most the day, nausea, dizziness, plain sick and weighed down in my bed from the moment I woke up until about 6:30pm. To where I was able to get up eat a little bit of dinner from a wonderful family who dropped it off and come back to bed and be there for the rest of the night. I felt that flare coming on the evening before when I told you guys I was at a play day for Reed. Ya I didn’t make it to work Wednesday. Instead, my husband had to call in sick for me because I couldn’t lift up my head or open my eyes. So for me to get a day like today after having such an awful day just two days before, well I consider it a miracle. And I’ll take it! I just don’t want it to come to an end. Could it be the celery juice I’m drinking every morning, or the herbal supplements I’m taking? Honestly, I don’t know. I don’t get too excited for more of these days because I know my bad days will return. It’s something that I’m used to by now. But I will take this good day and be grateful I had one. And I will pray for another day like today.🙏🏻
