One day.....

Helen Keller once said, "The world is full of suffering, but it is also full of the overcoming of it."

Pain

I consider myself to be a strong person, but every once in a while I become overwhelmed by having to deal with pain every day, and the other issues that come with having a chronic illness.

I begin to focus on the pain and then frustration kicks in. 

However, I learn to reach deep down inside, holding onto faith. I am reminded that each day is new, that I will overcome and I will find joy in that new day amidst even the pain.

I remind myself of my own personal power to exercise control over my body and how I react to the pain, as well as strive to minimize the effects of the pain.....and in the meantime I hold out for the cure that will come.....ONE DAY!
