Gratituesday 11.8.22 - Going, Going, Gone
Being sick sucks. I started feeling the ick last Thursday and it’s gone from a scratchy throat to congestion to a cough. And of course, I rested a bit and then I did what I usually do - I push through it. My body just couldn’t take my long day yesterday - and my voice started going, going, and it’s GONE today.
It should come as no surprise that I am a people pleaser. I don’t like letting people down or saying no. But you take my voice away and I need to do other things to be heard. Or I need to be quiet for my body to tell me what it needs.
It’s hard being your own advocate. But sadly, no one is going to it but me. Things are tough right now, so it took a little longer to find the good. But here we go!
