This was the title of yesterday’s post that is written and won’t be posted. Partly because it’s complaining, partly because I couldn’t figure out how to explain the past few days without in-depth commentary that wasn’t needed.
So, to start again…
This mornings cup is the reminder that… It’s Okay, I’m Okay.
I have had a rough few days that had me breaking down at physical therapy on Tuesday. Full-on sobs break down. I’ve been emotional at PT, but never tears and never needing to leave because it was too much for me and my body handle. Kelly, my physical therapist, reminded me that it’s okay, I’m okay. That I should count today as a success… I was motivated to be there… even though my body was betraying me. I still made it there, and I tried.
It’s a mindfuck when the reasons for my pain have nothing to do with MS. Silly, I know, not like I lived 42 years without the MS to blame or anything. Still, sometimes it’s hard to handle that MS isn’t always my roadblock.
I carried that ideal with me the rest of Tuesday and when I started writing yesterday. I am Okay. There will be days that are harder than others, days that I feel useless. There will be days that it takes all my energy to do simple things. Some of those bad days might not even have anything to do with MS… like this week. Then there will be days that are good or even great. I need to remember to know my limits, rest as needed, and then get back up.
I think that’s it, friends. Short and Sweet.
Peace, Love and Happy Cups today. 🧡☕️🧡
