Sometimes, the biggest victory is learning how to stay still (without panicking), and allowing my body to get all of the rest that it needs!

This does indeed sound like a breakthrough day. I know how difficult it is to not have your mood dependent on how you are feeling physically. Your reframing of what it means to have a successful day is a good example for all of us in how we respond to our own personal struggles. Thanks for inspiring me to define my own success instead of measuring myself against others.

As a mother of three, I feel guilty every day for what I can’t get done because of my disability. I am slowly realizing that I have to be thankful for what does get done, for the hours throughout the day I was able to walk, fold laundry, and sweep the floors, instead of wondering why I can’t force myself to push past it somehow anyway. I’m still in a bit of denial because I think…I could do this yesterday, why can’t I today? I thank you for reminding me that every little thing is a victory when doing ANYTHING seems like such a challenge.

Thanks for writing such an inspiring and thoughtful post. I’m amazed that you were able to turn the day around so completely, and it is a good reminder of what is possible and within our control when so many other things are not.
