New Years Resolutions
I don't know about any of you, but I still enjoy writing a list of resolutions.
Well, they're not exactly resolutions per se. They are more like promises: promises to myself most of all.
While my health still continues to slowly decline, I have had much fewer emergency situations over the last year. This wonderfully exciting year.
So my health resolution is to continue as I have been doing. Continue with medications that seem to help keep my illnesses and flare-ups more predictable, continue with treatments and activities that help me build strength and keep me moving without the resulting ER visit. I will continue to advocate for myself and others and to spread awareness and information about illnesses and treatments, as well as try to slow the spread of misinformation and judgement.
My own personal resolution will be to continue finding new things and projects that I enjoy. To always continue to learn, and to listen to my body when it is telling me that I have taken on too much. I will remind myself that I should not feel guilty for oh so many things that I have no reason to feel guilty for in the first place. I will continue to try and do things by-the-book and do my best to feed my curiosity. I will put myself out there artistically regardless of fear or apprehension.
I will try to keep active. I will remind myself daily about how lucky I am. I will spend time meditating and reflecting. I will do my best to ignore those who are disrespectful. I will stand up for my friends and my family should they encounter judgement.
Honestly - my 'resolutions' are all about being grateful and doing my best.
Above all - most importantly - I will try to remain positive as much as possible and be grateful for all that I have experienced and will experience in the future, whether it be blessings or challenges.
