We made it through another week.  Yes, YOU made it through another week.

Today’s quote is from Dr. Jamie Weisman.  A simple, uplifting quote, especially if you have (or someone you know has) a chronic illness:

“Most people live in fear of some terrible event changing their lives, the death of a loved one or a serious illness. For the chronically ill, this terrible event has already happened, and we have been let in on an amazing secret: You survive. You adapt, and your life changes, but in the end you go on, with whatever compromises you have been forced to make, whatever losses you have been forced to endure. You learn to balance your fears with the simple truth that you must go on living.”

These same words are true for everyone, whether they have a chronic illness or not.  This “amazing secret” can be applied to any circumstance in life that you may be going through.  Pull through.  Speak with friends.  Ask for help.  You will endure.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Yours, Lisa
