Pushing through...

When the pain is so bad that I want to curl up in bed.... I just push through!

When my legs are so swollen from steroids that I can't even bend them... I just push through!

When my stomach swells and aches from all of the gastritis pain... I just push through!

When my clothes won't fit because of the swelling... I just push through!

When my face swells and everyone stares... I just push through!

When my daughter worries because she's afraid I'm going to die... I just push through!

When I have this moment of weakness where I feel sorry for myself... I just push through!

Life is more than pushing through for me... at times it feels that way... but I am stronger than that! Having a lupus flare tests me on my mission try to be Super Woman.... It's like the song "Ain't nobody gonna break my stride... Ain't nobody gonna hold me down...OH NO! I just gotta keep on movin"
(Okay, the grammar is killing me...but the idea is there :) )

  2. Just remember that it's okay not to be Super Woman all the time...don't get me wrong though... anytime you want to come over and rock my girls and drive me to wine store I will let you.
