Last summer I retired from teaching. I had just turned 35 and it was a hard decision that some colleagues, friends, and family didn’t understand. Some people even said they were jealous I was able to stay home and many want to know my secret. So, I’ve decided to share it!

Are you ready?!

Here’s the secret...
•
I am sick. Permanently. There’s no cure. ♀️
•
So instead of teaching 6 year olds all day, I am trying to stay alive in a body that wants to shut down. Completing any task takes longer than it used to because my brain and limbs just don’t work the same anymore. I take naps several times a week and stretch out my tight muscles multiple times a day. I never know how I’ll feel from one day to the next; I can wake up feeling great one morning and like I was ran over by a bus the next.
•
Do you have any idea how exhausting that is? Hopefully you don’t.
•
Remember, NOT ALL DISABILITIES ARE VISIBLE! We may look good on the outside and be self destructing on the inside. Be kind ❤️ .

You say I am strong when I think I am weak.
You say I am held when I am falling short.
When I don't belong, oh You say that I am Yours.
And I believe.

Wenn ich mir Symptome einbilde, oder sie womöglich tatsächlich bemerke, geht er nicht auf meine Panik ein.
Er bleibt so ruhig, dass es mich fast wahnsinnig macht.
Und ich bin jedes Mal hinterher dankbar dafür, dass er so ist.
Manchmal fühle ich mich unverstanden, aber er weiß, dass ich genau das brauche.

Sun-kissed. Strolling a windy pier at sunset on wheels is way better than not strolling or rolling at all. I mean, I'm kind of clumsy so there is a concern that the only "safety rail" is a flimsy rope. But that's neither here nor there because I made it safely off that windy pier to tell you this. At one time I would have avoided it because I couldn't figure it out. I could barely walk, so I wasn't going to go. I couldn't wrap my mind around mobility aids...what I needed or what was even available to me or for me. In the last 4 years I have accumulated many aids. Canes, walkers, scooters. They have all served a supremely important purpose in my life...they have allowed me to keep an open mind and ask, "how can I?" rather than saying "I can't." #thisisms @wrussellj
Day 168/365: I wear my skates in the house. I wear my skates in a car. I wear my skates to the bar. I wear my skates near and far.
.
It’s only Tuesday but I’m kicking my feet up for the weekend early this week
Who else has a chill skate weekend planned?

Seeing myself for the first time in a full-length mirror broke me down The steroids really make you look like a different person... And on top of that, I had lost so much weight Thankfully, my mother was sweet enough to turn the camera off and give me a moment.♀️ I spent countless hours in this room trying to gain my strength back, ️♀️ But I still couldn’t feel much of my lower body... No choice but to keep moving... To keep trying.
Side note: I know you see me wearing the same outfit again and again... It was the only outfit I had with me when I arrived to the hospital. They were kind enough to keep washing it for me ✅ (Can someone please bring me a change of clothing?!?) ♀️ #Nike #JustDoIt #signatureyellowsocks
