If these words, Chronic illness and parenting, relate to your life, chances are they are enough to keep you busy indefinitely. They can easily become a large part of your identity, and they both fight for control over your energy, time, and some days, your sanity.
Today has been especially tough, as I have been recovering from a procedure done a few days ago. I have been a little tired, and really have not been able to do much, except fix meals, rest and think about what I'm going to write for my next blog.
Handling chronic illness is about learning to live in balance. You can't dwell on questions like, 'Why is this happening to me?' or 'What if it gets worse?' But you do have to be constantly conscious of your health status, and take the time to rest, exercise, and have fun. It's important to focus on feeling well and to maintain a positive outlook.
