For those that don't know about Lyme disease,  it can easily be summated by saying it is a disease with no boundaries.  Each day is an unknown as to whether or not it will be a good feeling day or one that is difficult to merely get through.  I have lived a very healthy lifestyle of excercising , eating right, doing good deeds for others, and striving to be the best that I can in whatever is situation is put in front of me.  So why now am I dealing with a disease that has not only taught me that I do have limitations, but also one that can give me a surprise attack at any given moment?  Well , I guess that question is better left for the universe! But what I do know is that it is up to me to decide how to look at what is in front of me. I choose to continue to eat healthy and strive to make the best out of each day that is given to me.  Even if that means that on some days, I simply choose to lay around because I am so tired.

Whether it be due to an illness, or an addiction, or being faced with such challenges in life that it is hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel... I truly feel if we just stay present in the moment and listen to our bodies and that inner instinct we all have, that we can make choices that will take us in a positive direction.  Many of us on here struggle for one reason or another, but just remember BABY STEPS!  Whether for me that means only doing 3 things on my To-Do List for the day instead of the 5 things I wanted to do, or maybe it's for the addict to not give in during a weak moment of wanting the bad thing that they have clung to....either way making one small choice in one small moment will allow us the peace of mind that we do have control in our lives and we can handle what is in front of us. 

Today Is full of choices that I can make to be at peace. Tomorrow is best left to tomorrow for the moment.
