For those of you who walk not in my shoes, but have your own to pain and burdens to carry know that you are not alone! This is a lonely walk and every step is filled with pain but somewhere deep within I pray that you have the strength to continue on this journey. And remember the the quote--"I complained about my shoes until I met the man who had no feet"
I do not know the origin or author of that quote but I often wonder if he had lymphedema.
This is a particularly difficult time for me in more ways then I care to mention. It's Christmas day and I am finding it hard to concentrate on the reason for the season...the Birth of Jesus Christ, a man that I know personally. I try to divert my attention and think on things that are good, but sometimes they are hard to find. This condition is so hard to handle. It takes a toll on me mentally, physically and psychologically, but "I'm still standing" (no pun intended) (smile). If I can but make it though this day. I promise to celebrate tomorrow...not Christmas but life.
So at this moment, the mountain before me seems too massive to concur. So I shall say to that mountain..."MOUNTAIN I WANT YOU TO MOVE"
