Hi readers. As is the rhythm of chronic illness, I’ve slowed down a bit, physically, cognitively and in posting to my blog. I’ve been trying to write, but words don’t come as easily when my thoughts flow slow-mo.
Wanted to say hello and to express my appreciation for those of you who stop by and keep my blog alive. As I’m doing my best at finding peace with needing to let this bod have what it needs– even more rest and less doing (and trying not to judge myself “lazy”), I am finding another silver lining in this dance with illness– abundant time to think about those I care about.
Blogging has brought new online friends into my life. So my dear family and friends you are keeping me company in my slow moving thoughts and for that I am grateful. Sending you wishes that your health is hanging in there and if you too are not doing so well, though we may not visually see each other, or be able to communicate as often online, we travel this journey…together.
“See you and me have a better time than most can dream of, better than the best, so we can pull on through, whatever tears at us, whatever holds us down, and if nothing can be done, we’ll make the best of what’s around.”
-Dave Matthews Band
I know just what you mean. I’ll keep you in my thoughts. Wishing you much peace-
You don’t know me, but I suffer from Gastroparesis and came across your blog site. I just wanted to say hi and let you know that you are not alone! You will be in my prayers…
I, too, know what you are saying, Kerry. Slow-mo thoughts is a good way of expressing the brain fog that comes with our illnesses. Sometimes my thoughts are not only in slow motion but seem to go off on their own from one subject to another. It is a good sign that rest is needed.
You are in my thoughts and prayers as you rest and regroup.

Take the time you need. I pray that you heal well.
my partner reminds that sometimes you just have to stop and eat the roses.
wishing you peace.
Oodles and Oodles of love heading your way~

Thanks to all of you for your warm support–it truly makes these times of ebbing functionality–easier (and more fun too).
Had this inspirational experience yesterday that I’m wanting to write about, believe it or not–at the dentist!
Still waiting for brain to work well enough to share and strings the words together so they make sense.
Happy Friday and weekend to all of you and again thank you for coming by and keeping me company! Love, Kerry
I understand the feeling of brain fog too. I hope you are doing well and this ’slow-mo’ state will be temporary!
I LOVE your honesty. I haven’t been posting because I have felt down, and I didn’t want to let people know. Now I realize that is silly, so many of us go through the ups and the downs, and we are here for one another. Thanks for keeping me honest! :-0
