ABOVE WATER

 

I’m trying my best to keep my head above water these days.  The only way I can describe this feeling is it’s like I’m walking along a cliff.

 

 

Some days the view is beautiful and scenic. I look around and see the miraculous views around me.  They are, indeed, wondrous.  The wonderful images stop me in my tracks.  These are the days when I am feeling good physically.  On these days I fail to remember the bad days.  Everything in my world appears perfect.  These periods in my life are glorious.  I relish in them.  Even though in the most remote part of my mind I know that sometime, some place these period will end.  I still delight in them.

 

 

Today is not one of those extrordinary period.  Nor have I had that recently.  But, I know it is coming.  I am due.  Lupus promises me those things.  You see even though I know that my wondrous moments will end I also know my horrible, loathsome and nasty periods will also end.  They may last longer each time.  My flares my seem to have no end in sight.  But I still have the hope.  I still have confidence.  I HAVE FAITH.  That these flares will not last forever. 

 

 

One day again the view will again be beautiful and scenic. I will again look around and see  the miraculous views around me.  They will again be wondrous.  The wonderful images will stop me in my tracks again and again.

Lu, this is so, so beautiful!  Yes, flares do not last forever.  God keeps his promises!  He really, really does.  And if not in this lifetime, in the next.  Lu, we will be dancing in the next lifetime...isn't that wonderful...we will know each other intimately!!  Wow!!  I can't wait!!  Tee Hee!  How glorious!!  I can't wait!  What a wonderful thought!  Will you dance with me and talk with me and play with me?  I think that would be wonderful!  I use imagery a lot when I am not feeling well.  I hope your flair ends soon, honey.  For now, here is a great big Valerie hug....

Lu dear, this is so true.  Seems like life is often extreme for us lupies ---- flying high with jubilation at feeling better ---- or dropping into a valley of tears and woe as the flares rear their ugly heads.  Don't have many days that are just 'blah', lol.
Hey don't forget to let me know about that book, OK?
Love you my friend,
