I suppose I should start my ramblings somewhere. Reckon I’ve been lurking long enough 😂. Just to get it all out of the way, I’m disabled. Just came to terms with it. Fibromyalgia, Labile Diabetes. Osteoarthritis. My lumbar, sacrum, tailbone basically have sand sediment (bone fragments) all throughout. I’m in pain all day everyday. The meds I take ( there are many) only take the edge off. My brain fog levels on catastrophic sometimes.
But this isn’t a stack to complain. I got dealt a rough hand but you gotta believe my life is amazing. I’ve been married to the love of my life for almost 18 years. I have a 14 cat with IBD who I love like a human child. My home is cozy and full of sunshine, and my people love to gather there. I have such a wonderful support system. I’ve finally found doctors that vibe with me. My relationship with my God is airtight. My landscaping (I’m what is known as a “chaos gardener”) is lush and green and attracts hummingbirds and bees and butterflies and woodchucks and birds and squirrels and the neighbors cat. Every morning I meditate and give thanks for the great things in my life.
My life has good things in it, and I finally realized I’m not made for the rat race. The hustle culture.
My life has great things in it, and I’m going to start using my limited energy to enjoy it.
Join me. The world is full of pain, let’s share our joy here.
Welcome.
