Definitely back-peddling here but I want to work my way through the November Gratitude/Giving Thanks month!

The second prompt (November 2nd) shows gratitude for an obstacle I’ve overcome.
While I still try to work through it I think I’ve made a pretty good life even with my Rheumatoid Arthritis. It may be with me forever but it’s definitely an obstacle I continuously overcome every day!

gratitude november calendar 2019Today, I am not necessarily grateful for a meal but that I’m actually keeping down my food. This sinus infection has been coupled with nausea and vomitting so I have had to be careful with what I’m eating.

Have you had an amazing meal recently? LMK in the comments!

I’ll try and post twice daily to catch up but I’ll start off with:

Today, November 10th, I am grateful for naps, coloring and coffee. Naps reset my mood, coloring takes my mind off things and coffee, interestingly enough, calms me down!

 

How about you, what are you grateful for today? LMK in the comments!

…time off.

I love work and the full time experience. When I got sick, I was thrown into part-time hours and sleeping the free time away. I felt useless, lazy and dumb.

Why couldn’t I push through and just work full-time? Was it really my disease or did I become complacent?

Working full time is difficult. I can make it through an eight hour shift but I certainly don’t have anything left afterwards. Errands? Yeah, right. Social life? As if! And, worst of all, I never truly get the chance to recuperate fully. I run on fumes as long as the work persists.

I have to sacrifice everything just to make coin. Is that a life? I guess, if I don’t have another choice. That’s where I am lucky. I used to think of it as a sin but I’ve come to appreciate it. I have the option of part-time work. I take the BEST naps and wake up refreshed and productive. This energy surge helps me knock out a lot of high quality work that I feel good about!

I am grateful for the time off so I can take care of myself and in turn, everything else.

 

What are you grateful for?

gratitude, rheumatoid arthritis

Nothing to disclose.

I cannot believe we’re almost halfway through the year! Time really flies (whether I’m having fun or not)…

This week I am grateful for…

What are you grateful for this week?
