For my next trick, I will be stretching 5 spoons until the end of April.

Please understand that a chronically ill person might prefer to text than talk on the phone because it preserves our energy.

I suspect very few people appreciate how much patience and discipline it takes to rest.

To do nothing.
To allow yourself to be bored.
To let socializing wait.
To ignore your to-do list.
To tell yourself over and over again:
'I am not doing nothing I am resting. Resting IS a verb, and it is the thing I most need to do right now."
