Thoughtful Thursdays

       I'm excited to announce Thoughtful Thursdays. Occasionally, I am going to take a day to reflect on some of the social media that I've created and the captions that accompanied them. I realize that many of you follow by different means such as email, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Google+, bookmarking, etc. That means many of these will be completely new to some of you. I love creating them and sharing them, so occasionally taking a day to reflect on a few will be fun. I hope they bring you joy. I certainly do enjoy creating them. 

I have had to learn to roll with the punches & never give up. Symptoms or not, I've been given this life & I intend to live it!

I don't want to just survive. I want to thrive, to live deeply and passionately. Small positive steps each day make that possible.

Symptoms can make life hard but overcoming them brings me strength, compassion and joy. I'm grateful!

Deciding to never give up & to take positive action each day was scary. Staying stuck where I was~even scarier!

I can't wait for someone to save me. Others certainly help, but I must save myself. No one can do it for me.

I'll never say attaining better mental & physical health is easy but I'll always say it's worth it. There's Hope!
