@songfamily2025 I could say the same of you and so many others here in this community! I am honored to be a part of such brave souls who battle things on a daily basis and yet don't give up the fight. Everyone is always encouraging each other and giving support and feedback where we can. It's amazing! Thank you for your kind words. Exhaustion finally set in Saturday night and I was able to soundly sleep for enough hours to carry me through today, so I'm grateful. The intensity of the pain has gone down, so I try to increase my normal activities during these windows of opportunity, no matter how long or short they may last. Yes - last fall hit me pretty hard; I was not expecting that. I'm thankful for the darkness that I've walked through since day one of my life because it has taught me so much and keeps my hope alive! My strength comes from deep within - a source beyond myself. I take no credit for my victories, only my obedience to set my feet in forward motion. That's so neat that our birthdays are so close!! 🙂 September is a good month! Even though you are not working, I'm sure if you look around, you will see you are surrounded by people who love you, and you have newfound friends here, too! You are not in this fight alone. I'm really glad to hear you could get a few hours sleep and take something for the pain - that's a blessing in itself! Sending hugs and joyous thoughts your way! Hope it's a good day for you!
