What Gets YOU Through???

Friday is finally here – Amen!  Even though I was at work for only two days, the week moved as slow as molasses.  I’ve had lots of things on my mind this past week – my upcoming semester at school, anxiety about my appointment next week & stressing about money ($60/week just in co-pays!!!) just to name a few.  But these are every day stresses & anxieties that the average person experiences as well, so my question is – what gets you through?
For me it’s always been music.  I still wish I was blessed with some musical talent – I’ve always wanted to learn how to play the guitar & there was a time when I could sing decently (HS choir); although now-a-days I keep it to singing in the car…  by myself!  Awhile back when I was in the hospital (for an issue unrelated to lupus) I had a music therapy class that gave me great insight as to how to express & manage my feelings.  I believe at times there are really no words to truly express/explain how you feel and can be better described by a song.  As I was listening to my iPod today, I came across a great song that is a great reminder that no matter how bad life gets you just have to keep your head up and remember that you aren’t alone.

Who do you swim for???
I am a firm believer that we are never given more than we can handle.  Even during the times in which I think it can’t get any worse (even thought it usually does) I come to realize, in the end, just how strong I am.  For every experience, there is something to be learned and that is one thing about life that I truly embrace.  In every situation, fear of the unknown is what can break us, but how we choose to respond is what can make all the difference.  So with that I leave you with this song…  Hope everyone has a great weekend!

“The hope is we have so much to feel good about”

Till next time…
