This was topically relevant to my life. My health challenges are not as extreme as some others, which I think has led me to invalidate my experience at times. It's so hard for me to honor my need to rest, and not to compare to others. I recently decided to make some lifestyle changes for my chronic health condition. The biggest part was just accepting that I HAD a chronic health condition; as I think I've been in denial for a few years about it. Anyway, all that is to say I'm learning to keep my eyes on my own journey and realize that I can't be comparing my energy levels/other body benchmarks to people who don't have the same challenges as me. I appreciated reading this and seeing how you prioritized your health!

Are you Clark Kent Sister? The Superwoman? Because all you do in the face of that dilemma is amazing and quite inspiring also.

It’s my honest prayer things get better than it is.

My mom has struggled with fibro for many years since beating cancer. It's horrible and most people genuinely don't get it. You've got the right attitude with it though. Glad you got out of the rat race.

Whew! When you said they will find somebody else to be up at bat, FELT.... I left my job because I was afraid I'd stroke out like my boss did(thankfully she recovered but still).You gotta do what's best for you; mind, body, and soul.
