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…
