Day 10 of #strala30--You Aren't Alone

10/24/2016

Today, I woke up feeling---down, tired, achy, and just plain raw. Like someone had run my soul over with sandpaper. I was angry and frustrated.
-
Recovering from #chronicEBV and #candida is NOT easy. Each day brings a different emotion to the surface. It can be frustrating. It can make me weary. It can make me feel alone.
-
But, in this new practice of ease, I'm just using these tough moments to breathe. I went into the bathroom at work today and spent just a few minutes tuning into my breath and clearing my mind. I remembered I don't have to plan the future, or rearrange the past. I only have right now.
-
And after my mini meditation today, I encountered a customer who had a story similar to mine. We commiserated together, shared a few laughs about our experiences, and both hurt that the other person is hurting.
-
Regardless if I ever see this woman again, I just want to say thank you universe. I needed to have this interaction today. To know I'm not the only one with good, ok, or very bad chronic illness days. I needed to laugh about our long list of supplements, and the foods we swore we'd never eat. I needed to give a hug and be hugged in return. Because we aren't ever alone, and the universe always shows us when we are feeling the loneliest.
