Hello my lovey doves! I am here just briefly (I am working away on other endeavors at the moment and there was another post I thought of while I was driving earlier and I seem to have forgotten it ... with any luck it will pop back into this steroidsy screwy brain of mine!) to … Continue reading You Must Also Know Your Weaknesses!

Terrace House Wisdom
I have been "watching" (my version of "watching" is more like half-listening to while doing other things) the Netflix / Japanese "reality show" "Terrace House" and I just came across some wisdom that I suppose I had overlooked while halfheartedly "watching" / listening to the show. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this … Continue reading Terrace House Wisdom
Managing Expectations
I want to make this as brief as I can in order to "train" myself to write shorter posts. For those of us who deal with chronic illness, it is absolutely CRUCIAL that we learn to "manage our expectations."

Monday “Mantra” – “BE HAPPY FOR OTHERS!” – NO!

This basic "is" or "is not" can be formulated into infinite numbers of "hypotheses" despite the fact that they all basically come down to the aforementioned basic "argument." Today, for "Motivation Monday," … Continue reading Motivation Monday – Is “Failure” an Option?
Monday Motivation – Random Acts of Kindness
So today started off as a rocky last night - I was having terrible panic attacks and slept terribly due to the amount of pain I was in along with having steroid withdrawal which resulted in repeated nightmares that woke me from my rare moments of sound sleep. I finally dragged my butt out of … Continue reading Monday Motivation – Random Acts of Kindness
Monday Motivation
I want to start "categorizing" some of these posts so they are not just the random thoughts based on my "perspective" as a "spoonie;" of course I will continue those kinds of posts, but I thought I would utilize some of the "hashtag"able days of the week ideas here - it is a great way … Continue reading Monday Motivation
