Today was a really hard day stomach-wise, pain-wise, everything wise. My pancreas decided to act up, and when that happens, itâs like my entire body revolts against me. The pain was relentless, the kind that makes time feel like itâs standing still. Days like this, I have no choice but to slow down, to listen to my body, and to remind myself that Iâm doing the best I can in this moment.
Itâs hard not to miss the days when pain wasnât my constant companion. But the truth is, those days are rare now. I get so few breaks in between, and today felt especially heavy. Itâs 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 canât control. Some days, thatâs all we can do.
If youâre having a heavy day too, know that youâre not alone. We keep going, one breath, one moment at a time.
With love,
Trish
