I know, Earth Day “should” be about saving the Earth, and rightly so. Then there is the mind of ill people, sucked into the depths of yuck-and-muck. What if we used Earth Day to celebrate the Earth, regardless of chronic illness? What if we could use the day as a vehicle to mind travel, wanderlust. Get outside of ourselves, our hurting tired bodies and minds. A moment of relief from the daily grind of chronic illness!

Being called crazy is just part of life. Who exactly is “normal?” Or are we all just a bit pixilated? Chronic illness is the perfect time to learn about pixilated people and find a new “norm.”

Don’t paint me as a victim, I am so much more than that, so are you. Victims we are but… Victim defines us only when we let it. Being a victim holds us a prisoner when we have so much more to offer the world. Remove the bars, the barriers, the prejudices, the pigeon holes that are useless and be who we are through our difficult circumstances. Get above it!!!!

Really and truly, everything really and truly is figure-out-able. If you have ever had a chronic illness (or ten at the same time), you have figured out that we have to figure it out. Sitting around waiting for the Figure-It-Out-Fairy never works. And the Figure-It-Out-POLICE cannot stop us, how fun is THAT???

We suffer needlessly until we fully understand that life simply is not fair, never has been, never will be, not here on earth. Some people will be stricken with chronic illness and others won’t. It is not fair, that simple. Getting back on the bicycle and moving forward requires that we accept this fact.

We all have obstacles in our lives. The chronically ill have some specific ones. Those obstacles are fierce and try to knock us down at every turn. Has illness knocked you down or are you letting your hair blow as you make your way through the intense obstacles?

We all have
I feel so bad, hurt so much, am so discouraged, have so many obstacles, that I can’t be kind. Well, I beg to differ. We can always try to be kind, even while we are ill. It might not always come across kindly to others but we sure can try. We can think before we speak or maybe just not speak sometimes. I do believe kindness is a choice, for the most part.

How do you treat someone you love? Usually, we are kind and loving, giving, put their needs above our own, etc. Okay, so we don’t get all that perfect all the time but you know how you desire to treat the ones you love. How do you treat yourself? Are you kind to yourself? Do you take care of your needs while you are chronically ill? Are you gracious in your attitude about yourself? Are we treating ourselves like we would treat someone else or are we rude, unkind, name-calling, and not stepping up to take care of basic needs?
