Ok. There's no nice way to say this. But I have some awful stuff coming out of my body.
My skin is sprouting lumps and bumps.
My nose is running.
My throat is filled with some of strange "mucous-like" substance.
And my er..hmm...poo. Well...without being too graphic, let's just say it has "company" of sorts;
some resembling images I remember from the 1986 movie Aliens.
Now, all that said, a girl can go places.
I can go the future --the one I might miss-- and fall into worry.
I can go to the present -- the one filled with pain -- and fall into despair.
I can go to the past -- the thing I can't change -- and kick myself for not doing XYZ differently.
Or, I can go inside, summon my courage, and tell myself something empowering.
YES. I think I'll choose that one.
How 'bout you?
Altered Today: Focus. Thoughts. Actions.
Thinking of you!

It's hard to see a better future in the midst of pain and illness - I always tend to see my entire future in that sick and painful place. You are right, its best to be in the moment and deal with it, instead of impressing it on the future. Hope you feel better!

Sorry you are dealing with that Joanna AND I totally understand. Some days, it's hard to think about anything except what's right in front me. When I get like that, I watch this video (link below) over and over again. Don't know if it will help you, but it's got me out of bed many of days. Swim my friend. The future is waiting for you.
XOXOX,
Kathy
