After this past week, I can see how people let their illness get the best of them. I think it would be easier to do that than to keep moving forward. But the rewards are plenty. I'm feeling good this week and I smiled when I looked at my running calendar for February. I didn't miss a run!

And we'll have all again this week, complete with "summer" thunderstorms.<br /><br />What was the point to the symptoms journal? Could you learn anything from it that would help you? I've been tracking my headaches and finally figured out my trigger, which was super useful to figure out, even if I may not be able to avoid it.

I find it boring and I miss the beauty of autumn leaves that I experienced in my childhood. But, since I am a glass half full girl I try to look on the bright side. <br />I handle adversity pretty well I think. I always remind myself of the silver lining, and that so many other people are worse off than I am. I count my blessings, come up with a plan of attack, and put one foot in front of the other. I'm so glad I found your blog. I'm currently counting you as one of my blessings. Your positive attitude is infectious and I look forward to seeing your IG photos. The jumping/handstand photos always make me smile. I hope you are headed into your week feeling strong, pain free, and peaceful.
