Oh, this was so touching. I really got the sense of your reality. And how true it is that if we pay attention to the little things, there is enough, even if it doesn't stop the longing for freedom. ❤️

Hi Lisa. Today has been hard, and despite this gratitude list I spent the afternoon asleep. I'm not a happy camper tonight, and my intestines are simply exhausting. Thank you for your kind words 😘

Yes! And then I crashed, nevertheless. Some days it is just impossible to stay optimistic and positive with this illness. Thank you for reading, Julie. I appreciate you. Tomorrow will be better.

It's the moments of joy and beauty that matter. Hold on to that while you ride out the crash. Those moments will be there waiting for you 🤗
