not all there

I genuinely felt sad that I wasn't able blog for the past few days. Unfortunately, I just didn't have it in me.


We all have days in which our productivity is low. We're sick, stressed or just tired. I was all three with some issues from my Sjogren's Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. 


I couldn't put a thought together. Well, I could, it just didn't make sense. I had to realize my limitations, once again. 


It can be challenging when you can't do what you would like to, or "should" do.  Many of us want to do everything (all at once) and then some extra- just in case.


I know from personal experience that limitations can be extremely frustrating. However, when you're not all there, even if part of you wants to be, you're just not all there. Unfortunately, my symptoms leave me "not all there" often, so my advice to myself and the rest of us is to keep our sense of humor. 


What we're going through may not be funny, but there's no point in stressing out or getting angry over what we can't control. Laughing is the best way I know to avoid self-pity. Self-pity often makes us hard to be around, kind of like pouring salt on a wound. 


So, when we are not all there it's okay to relax and maybe have a giggle.


peace and love,
