Reflections

My absence of late can be explained by a number of things. I have been busy studying again, gaining another A in my quest for the ever elusive Herbal Medicine Diploma (determined to get straight A's)

I have also been going through alot emotionally. This year so far has seen many changes for me. From beginning a new relationship and moving in together, rekindling old friendships and letting some people go, there has been enough drama to produce a soap opera.

It got me thinking. How do we keep going? Is it as simple as "we just have to"? In a way I think so. To live a full life we must do our best each day.
Although each day I have pain, at different levels, I have truly found that, upon reflection, the more positive I am about my health the easier the day goes for me emotionally. Over the years, dealing with Endo, PTSD, and a panic disorder I've had to find ways to cope. I've reached rock bottom and it's not pretty. It's a difficult climb back up and your own negative thoughts can really drag you back. But with support and love I got back up on my feet and I don't ever intend to fall off that cliff again.

Sometimes it feels like you're threading water and of course your head is going to go under sometimes, but the important thing is to keep moving, keep going and never give up hope.
