Sick opposites attract

So many professional sick people I talk to feel they need to be one thing & yet of course often feel another. We feel strong for just fighting & making it through another day, but so weak for not being able to somehow just smile & overcome. We try to love ourselves but hate our bodies & our diseases/illnesses so much. Many others tell us we seem well & we don't look sick. I love to be happy & laugh, but find myself crying over the laughs & relieving the pain. I want to be positive & be grateful for the good things. I really do, but some nights it is all I can do to get through until morning.

 

Day 30-Word Cloud-#HAWMC/WEGO health

As I work pretty much only on an iPad as I can manage to carry it & not a laptop these days, the wordle.net wouldn't work, but they suggested a great app where you can only use 10 words BUT you can use your own photo as the backdrop! Perfect for me as my blog focus is documenting me & these illnesses. This pic was taken about a year ago, & I took a purple (fibromyalgia's awareness color) ribbon & wrapped it around my mouth, as I had found out news that would deeply impact my life & had no say in the decision. I used it with the words shown to make my own sort of word cloud! (the app is wordfoto)
