Well one story in particular addressed this and stayed with me over the years and had a huge impact on me called The Spoon Theory by Christine Miserandino. I have posted it on my personal FB numerous times, read it to friends and have told them that I have used all of my “spoons” for the day. It is an exceptional story and explains living with Lupus or any other chronic disease better than most things I have read. This story changed the way I saw myself personally by taking away some of the guilt of being sick and helping me realize it was okay. It has also helped people that love me get a glimpse into what I deal with everyday, to understand living with a chronic disease a little better. I hope you enjoy reading it and utilize it as much as I have and share it with those close to you :-).
Once again thank you for being a part of my journey and letting me be a part of yours! I pray that I gave you some hope & encouragement today in knowing you do not fight this battle alone and that this posts helps you in some small way.
Take the time today to find your joy, inspiration & passion! God Bless you all and I will talk to you again soon.
Please comment or send me a message if you have any suggestions or just need to talk. Deena 🙂
