I wish I could be the old me at least during the holiday. I’d love the energy to shop until I drop and enjoy the holidays to the fullest. Sure I enjoy the holidays with my family, but it’s hard to be completely part of the holiday when you’re fatigued and full of pain.  The hardest part is not being able to plan anytime of the year, but it’s especially hard during the holiday season.  I try to pace myself, but I tend to overdo myself when I have the energy to move around my house. I have to remember to pace myself every day since I struggle all the time with my energy level and pain.  Pacing could extend my endurance, but I’m always fearful of pain the next day. I have to remember that chronic illness may slow me down, but it doesn’t mean I cannot enjoy the holidays at a slower pace.

How do you deal with stress during the holidays?

I thought that this graphic was really cool so I decided to share it with everyone. Its not meant to disrespect any other celebration for this time of year. I simply that a little funny looking reindeer would bring a few smiles to everyones face. So if its made you smile let me know because we all deserve to have a little humor in our holiday. To those of you in pain and suffering I wish you a comfortable day and night as you celebrate so I’m saying Happy Holidays to Everyone :)
