Reflections on the lead up to Labour Day celebrations in OZ

I may not look sick, but I struggle with what others take for granted each day.
I may always reply to your question of “How are you” with a “Fine Thanks” but I don’t tell you how it really is because explaining it just takes too much energy and I find talking about it just so boring.
Only those that I live with understand the extent of change that has happened in my life.
It is at this time of the year, being Labour Day that I feel it the most.
I mourn the loss of my old life. I mourn the loss of being active in my life.
I mourn the loss of the friends that have fallen by the wayside.
I am grateful that I have reached a recovery point of 60%  and have stabilised.
I want more and know it will take time to get there.
I know you want to help and offer up suggestions about ways to get well.
I thank you for sending me information and rest assured I do research things to see if I have tried it already and if not, will it be of benefit.
Sometimes it can get very lonely.
I am blessed to have a loving Husband that understands how it is.
He encourages me to leave the house when I have been within the walls for too many days.
I do not post this for any other reason than to let my friends know, you are often in my thoughts and in my heart.
Some days are worse than others so reaching you can become tough.
I know I don’t look sick……….. but there you are ……. not everything is always as it seems.
