Is It What It Is?

"It is what it is."

Ugh. How that line drives me bonkers!  I know the line means well, but still!

The Miracle of Modern Medicine

      Praise to the makers and providers of modern medicine!  And for our ability to have access to it!  I cannot fathom how people without it manage to survive - or even how our modern society exists, that humans didn't just give up along the way because life simply hurt too much!

Perhaps It's Time to Find a Way to Build a Boat!

        I must admit... I have lost track of how many times I've tried to start a post, here.  It's not that I'm *that much* of a perfectionist (though I probably am).  There is no reputation that needs to be upheld, either.  I just couldn't figure out what I was really trying to say, and so for a while I gave up on it, to let it kind of stew in my mind.

        Let's see what my mind found, hmm?

It Isn't Too Late To Try Again

        So, that last post was kind of heavy.  I'm so grateful for the positive feedback I have received, by the way.  It's a bit strange to find out that someone reads these posts, and another thing altogether to have someone give really heart-felt feedback!  So thank you.

        I figured, since I waxed a bit whiny this last time, perhaps it is time to pull out some healthy coping mechanisms.  At nearly 3 am, I'm demonstrating the opposite of one such mechanism: getting enough sleep.  But I'm balancing that by trying to think of some more healthy ones, especially since I could use a few, tonight.

Okay, Let's Just Be Honest. Brutally Honest.

        Given that yesterday I was celebrating what I felt like a minor victory, and mentioned that I wondered if my body would express its attitude problem in response (which it has!), I would imagine this post would seem like an extension of such.  But really, this is a long time coming, and I suppose the time is now.

Woohoo! A Good Day! Gotta Celebrate That! *\o/*

        I have to admit, the past, several weeks (read: months) have been rather tough for me.  Summer has always been such an energizing, uplifting time of the year for me, in the past.  I fully expected that this summer would bring with the sunshine much lifting of my spirits and energizing of my being.  Not sure what the blast happened, though.

        However, as with many issues with chronic pain and illness, one is likely going to have days that are better than others, and today was one of those wonderful days!  Yay! lol
