Independence looks different with chronic illness...
A more real and honest post from me about life now. I will return to my other real, honest, happy fall stuff next time. But sometimes it is important to share the reality of what you are living. I wanted to talk about learning to use mobility aids when you are a super independent person. First, chronic illness takes away a great deal of your independence anyway.

Diagnosis, Paw Prints and a volley back to hope...
Summer hasn’t been my favorite season since I was ten. But this summer has been especially hard and last summer was also hard.

See you next year April....
I cannot believe we were are already at the end of April. Which means we are also heading out of Spring and rolling towards summer. Which also means we will be seven months from Christmas and only four months from the Ber-months of SeptemBER, OctoBER, NovemBER, DecemBER -(sorry I had to). Although fall and Christmas are as always my most favorite times of the year. I have been doing better at being present and finding ways to appreciate and enjoy the rest of the seasons. Sum
