Steph, it didn't sound like a "failed attempt at a family day out," or like a small win. It sounded glorious! Your kids, a park, trees. Good moments! I would say you are writing, "The Chronic Illness Fellowship Handbook."
Thank you for your kind comment Cherie. I have struggled to get my words down recently so this felt like a good place to start. I hope you have a great week.
'If such a book existed, The Chronic Illness Fellowship Handbook, would say: take in the good days.
What it won't say in this fictitious book, is that sometimes there are no good days. Only good hours. Good moments. Fleeting nano-seconds of observation.'
Thank you for your generous discernment of this reality that is not acknowledged enough Steph <3 We experience a world that is overwhelmed with stories of happiness and what each day should look and feel like (constantly fucking glorious), and we need more people like you to speak to the truth that so many of us experience daily.
