What to do, what to do?

I have not been close to thinking about giving up since the one episode I had when I went into the hospital almost eight years ago. After surmising what this road would be like, it appeared as though I didn’t want to take it.

My daughter brought me out of my temporary stupor by asking me if I was giving up. I have been fueled to keep on paying dues and live on since then. However, I can imagine how, for many, their world can change instantly. I recently lost the joy of daily experiencing my oral enjoying my food choices. The lollygagging miscarriage of my care I will omit for now. Added to this experience, the center of my joy has been out of pocket for several months. Life is tough, and we get to go through some great experiences. That is the easy part. But what to do when the not-so-easy part comes?

The last few days I engaged in a binge of one series, The Godfather Trilogy, several music videos, and and a couple of books. It is crazy how a couple of adjustments have the ability to make things better.

My biggest and best adjustments are mental. I’ll utilize more meditation and reframing. I’m getting up for my future. One never knows what life will throw at us next. The loss of ability, function, enjoyment of certain normal routines, and the company of friends, family, and support can all happen- ready or not. I’m keeping hoping and coping alive. Simplysaidbysimon by someone I love and respect, are you giving up? Heck no. I’m just beginning to live anew. Mostly, my help these days is invisible. ALS – A Lifetime Savior. Thanks, Jilliane.
