It Is What It Is.........

But it will become what you make it!


It is so very easy to get down and out about our situation, the pain, the fatigue.   I have two words to  say to you for that......please don't!     And I'll say right now that this does not run contradictory to my last post about acceptance.   They go hand in hand!   


You're disabled?   So am I!  I certainly don't intend to stop there though.   I have a book on amazon.com.  I have this blog.   I intend to begin lecturing in January.  The information will be on my website: www.elizabethannjohnston.com.


Don't allow the pain to control your life.   I spend most of my days in the bed, but I also climb stairs, play with my dogs, and clean my house a wee little bit at a time.   Now, I could say, I can't clean my house.  I have a rather large house and it can be overwhelming, but what I can do is dust one room at a time.  Clean one section of flooring at a time.  OR...I could hire someone to do it all for me.    I cannot sit in a car very long to travel, but I have an SUV, so my husband puts the back seats down, puts a mat down for me to lay on and I have my chariot!   We live in Texas and we're going to my daughter's on the east coast for Thanksgiving so I can spend time with my family, my incredible daughter and fantastic grand kids!   Where there's a will, there is indeed a way.

Please don't be a "glass is half empty" kind of a person!   My cup always runneth over!   Sure, I have my days, but don't get comfortable in being miserable!   God loves a cheerful heart!     It's all in what you decide to make it!
