Today was a really hard day stomach-wise, pain-wise, everything wise. My pancreas decided to act up, and when that happens, it’s like my entire body revolts against me. The pain was relentless, the kind that makes time feel like it’s standing still. Days like this, I have no choice but to slow down, to listen to my body, and to remind myself that I’m doing the best I can in this moment.
It’s hard not to miss the days when pain wasn’t my constant companion. But the truth is, those days are rare now. I get so few breaks in between, and today felt especially heavy. It’s in these moments that I have to give myself grace to not be angry at my body, to not feel guilty for resting, to not let the weight of it all consume me.
So, I did what I could. I reminded myself to stay present. To breathe through it. To let go of what I can’t control. Some days, that’s all we can do.
If you’re having a heavy day too, know that you’re not alone. We keep going, one breath, one moment at a time.
With love,
Trish
