It's OK

After talking with a friend today I wanted to share an insight.

I have tried so very hard to be positive the whole time I went through this illness. This past week when I had to be readmitted...I cried. I did NOT want to go back to that hospital. They are so nice and take good care of me but I did NOT want to go. It took me about 5 hours of sadness to realize I was in the place I needed to be. The fact is, it was OK that I was sad.

We can't be happy, positive...etc 24/7. It isn't realistic. It doesn't make us less of a good person. That is the moment other people step in our lives and lift us up. I can't believe how many of you did that. I received emails from people I haven't heard of since before my illness who gave me cheer. I know that is how it is suppose to work. We help each other!! and we don't beat ourselves up if we aren't happy all of the time. What a good time for reflection.

Thanks to everyone who lifted me up in my sad time and let's look around with our eyes and hearts looking for someone who needs a cheerful word, deed or smile. I will be better at this too.

By the way, I am happy again. I feel much better. You don't feel so good when your body is super dehydrated...near prune stage.

Have a great day lifting someone up!!
