If you live with a chronic disorder and sometimes feel like giving up then you will resonate with every word here. Specially dedicated to people who live with CFS.
Just For Today Just for today I need to be lifted high above the too many tasks to be complete I need to be above the level that makes me see clearly All the limitations my body hands me I need to soar into the presence of a God Who has the power to make all things right Yet feel satisfied at His selection of what to �make right� now And what to leave for a while longer. Just for today I want not to feel my shoulders burn from Lactic Acid bubbling between my muscle fibers I want not to feel the pressure of confusion and forgetfulness I want not to ask you �what was I just saying?� I want not to slow your pace by my deliberate and mincing steps I want not to be misunderstood for my changing temperament I want not to wonder when and how this will all end. Just for today I wish to hear the music of my own laughter and the echo of a friend�s I wish to recall with animation the little girl who still lives inside me. I wish to celebrate the autonomous woman I aspire to be I wish to remember only the positive people who have crossed my way I wish to feel the satisfaction and appreciation of a job well done I wish to be surrounded by unconditional, unreserved love I wish to feel the awesome assurance of my every present God and Friend! �Copyright Patrice Williams-Gordon 2006

Patrice,

I live with chronic pain and Fibromyalgia; they do everything in their power to wear me down (and out). My saying is: just for today, I will live with these conditions, and not be lived by them. :) Of course, limiting factors determine the success of the day. LOL Well penned inspiration, thank you. :)

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

And welcome to Author's Den, you're among friends. :)
