After sharing the fun and festive side of our weekend, I wanted to show you the part that doesn’t make it into most posts.
Living with chronic pain means every joyful moment has a shadow side. My hip doesn’t take a day off — it’s a 24-hour companion — and the cold makes everything tighten, throb and demand attention.
I paced myself as best as I could, but the truth is I still overdid it. The result? Two days of increased pain, moving slower than I’d like, and resting on the sofa because my body simply insisted.
This isn’t a “poor me” moment — it’s just the reality so many of us live with. You can have the joy and the exhaustion. The sparkly moments and the sofa days. Both belong. And both deserve to be seen.
Sharing this because someone out there needs to feel less alone with their own version of this dance.
🌟Reminder - I have a great easy read you can download that can help you move through things you can do in your life.
