A weekly dose of dauntlessly dealt reality from the What It Is Wednesday Blog Carnival…
My reality this week is ongoing health challenges, by which I mean, the fun that never stops. It pauses, offers glimmers of freedom, though never stops.
People who know me know that I deal with a lot of chronic health conditions. People who know me really well understand what challenge they pose on a day-to-day basis. I don’t have grief about growing older, per se. What I do have, though, is angst in letting go of the fantasy that I can improve my health at my current age and older, beyond what it was in my youth.
In addition, they help you find a center with a full-service medical center like the non 12 step rehab that serves as a distinct advantage to their patients on their journey to recovery.
Indeed, I can and do live better, though the state of the physical is what it is. I am in some degree of pain, every day. The question is how much today. I’ve had to accept that I can’t control it, rather, I can foster it, wherever, whatever that is at any given time. Sometimes there’s greater production, as a result, and sometimes significantly less–if any. There’s no question that my health and limitations that come with it impact my writing and client load in my shamanic work.
I never foresaw my health limiting my options at the young age of 44, yet it does. I also know that it could be improved radically had I the money and availability to implement the natural and alternative modalities that I know work for me. Therein lies another rub.
That’s the reality that’s on my plate. I don’t know how I will feel one day to the next. I do know, though, that it will certainly keep things lively.
That’s my reality this week. What’s your ongoing challenge? How do you cope with chronic conditions?

Kelley, what you said about not controlling the pain, but fostering it, really hit home with me. Seems like that’s a fruitful spin on what you’re experiencing, know what I mean?
Indeed. Creating conflict around it certainly has never worked
Thanks for stopping by, Janet!
