Tired all the Time.

I realise my body is reacting to muscular and synopsis changes constantly from within, which also means my body is always working to repair itself. Some days with much enthusiasm I am able to perform my walks, housecleaning and meal preparations. Other days it is a chore to get up and move about.  Don't let depression rob you of being glad you are alive. Celebrate the small victories. Today I walked to the end of the block and back. The sun was shining and the fresh air was invigorating.  Yes I cursed as I slowly got dressed, tied my shoes with my gnarly twisted hands but with deep breaths I started my walk.  When I got home I started my regiment of stretches and felt better for the day.  Knowing your limitations helps in how you deal with obstacles.  Not that you should let your limitations dictate what you can not or want to do but rather make it game where you challenge yourself.  Some days this works for you and makes you worth while other days you will curse everything and anything. Don't give up! Being tired has its pluses.  I get to have a rest in the afternoon, slows me down to appreciate what I do have and makes me thankful every day that I am here.
