EDS Awareness Day 28

 Day 28 – 3 Things You’re Grateful For



A day of gratitude! Talk about 3 things you’re grateful for.


I am a very blessed person. I have so many things in my life that I am thankful for.


Is at the absolute top of my list! I have a fantastic husband who works hard at everything he does. He always wants to be the best at everything from being a good husband to a great father, and provider for our family. He even does the little things like emptying the dishwasher and making sure the hot tub is clean and healthy for my therapy. He really is a gem.


Then there are my 7 beautiful children. From oldest to youngest there are so many blessings mixed in. Each child is growing each day to be the best human they can be. They are all Kind and thoughtful individuals who truly make this world a better place and I am so very thankful God entrusted them to me for the time he did. Although most of them are off-adulting in the most fantastic ways they will forever be my babies.

That probably sums me up. My friends on the other hand are hilarious and supportive and some of the fiercest prayer warriors I have come across. The ladies in my "moms group" are the real deal!l They can make me laugh, cry, and call me out on my Sh** all in a matter of moments. I love it and wouldn't change it for anything. Having that group of ladies to banter with once a week is one of the highlights of my week. I have many other friends who are just as wonderful for good conversations and good fun.  Friends are the family we choose 💓






Since I can only pick 3 the next is gonna be need-based. So many people take for granted having a safe home, with clean water and food to eat. Growing up for me was not one of the easiest seasons of life. We often didn't have power or water on in our bug-infested apartment. There was usually little to no food. Sometimes a Church would drop food items off and we would eat little bits here and there to make sure it would last a while. To this day I don't like to eat the last of anything. It just makes me feel better knowing it's there. Just in case, cause you never know. Life can change drastically in mere moments..... Today I am blessed.

A different kind of mourning

Image
Have you ever stopped to think about how people who get into an accident are given time to mourn their losses yet people who are diagnosed with a genetic condition or other health ailment are usually not.  This baffles me.....  Getting into an accident and losing abilities is hard.  I know people who have been perfectly healthy one day, get in an accident, and never walk again.  This is tragic!  They spent months in the hospital. Even more months in rehab all the while working with a therapist to help their mental state and dealing with such a profound loss. They were loved on, held, and supported by nurses and social workers ready to help them along the way and comfort them for as long as they needed. They were given room to grieve, as well as the tools and support they needed to get through this tragic ordeal.  My heart broke for these individuals in their time of struggle and I loved the way their communities rallied around them to ensure they knew they were not traversing this road

See something, Say something

  See something...say something... "See something, say something" is a phrase we have all heard. It is an important mantra that encourages people to report any suspicious activities or behaviors that they may observe. It's all about promoting safety and vigilance  in our communities. If you ever notice something that doesn't seem right, whether it is an unattended bag, suspicious behavior, or anything out of the ordinary, don't hesitate to report it to the authorities. They are trained to handle these sorts of situations and determine if further action is needed. This is excellent advice! Unfortunately, it also promotes people being skeptical of one another. Looking at other people thinking they may be up to something, even when they may have had the purest of intentions. Of course, if you see something suspicious say something but what if we could do more with it? I think it's time to change things up a bit. What if See something, say something could also ref

Happy new year a couple weeks late

New year, new you... Right? How about maybe we try something . . . a little different this year.  Maybe this year can be the year of self-love.  The year we finally recognize the things we accomplish every day. Even if it is just a day of rest. I don't know about you but I have spent most of my life being told what to do, what to think, how to be....with a body that just wont cooperate. So many rules, so many expectations.... I want this year to be different! This year lets parctice  Here are some suggestions to try to be just a little kinder to yourself this year... 1. Practice self-care! Prioritize activities that promote your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. This can include regular exercise your body can handle, eating as healthy as you can each day, and getting the amount of sleep YOU need. Make sure you are taking time to engage in activities you enjoy and don't steal all your energy. Things that bring you joy and relaxation. 2. Set Boundaries! Learn to say no
