The Gift of Temporary Disability

[TygrBright]

6. Thank you for linking to the Spoon Theory!

I do encourage people to click that link and read the story. It's one of the best and most vivid explanations anyone's come up with, to explain what it's like to live with a chronic condition/disability.

And thank you for sharing that last little experience with me-- the walking up the escalator one. Just recently I had a "sign" my problem might be starting to move in a good direction, too-- was able to pick up a dropped item from under a table by reaching for it, without too much pain, rather than having to get down on hands and knees, scootch over to it, and pick it up left-handed, then find a place to put it while I struggle to my feet again.

It felt like a BIG deal to be able to do that. Taking pleasure in the small things is a good exercise.

amiably,
Bright
