My Spoonie Life this WinterDo y'all remember that song with the lyrics, "winter just isn't my season?" Truth! Though I really enjoyed connecting with you guys this month, I know I wasn't here much. Which I regret, but could not really do anything about, unfortunately. Here's what I have learned... (1) If I don't write all my blog posts in advance, this is what participating in the UBC is probably going to look like. (2) Might look like this even if I do. (3) My epic crash this past month might be connected to doing #allthethings in December even though I was sick. About that last one - I was so happy to be spending time with my friends, getting some Christmas shopping done, and eating fun food, that I went out and went out and went out, even though I was burdened by the latest plague my son caught at work. It felt like I was getting away with it. But chronic fatigue syndrome, or ME/CFS as it is usually now called, seems to have had the last laugh, because this month has been a wash! Sheesh. Spoonie Self-Care & SpiritualityBut you know what, I am still grateful I got to participate and connect with you guys at all. My commitment to myself this year includes emotional and spiritual healing, rest and self-care. And I am learning that my illnesses are a kind of spiritual initiation. It's likely I'd resist healing and spiritual growth without them. At least to some degree. So, I guess - *cough* *mumbles* *shrugs* - I am grateful for them, too. ;) How Did the UBC Challenge Go |
