I am almost 26 years old, living a simple life in Harrisburg Pennsylvania. I have a 6 month old daughter, Maggie, who is the easiest baby on earth (thank goodness, I don't know what I would do). I've been working for the federal government since graduating college and am almost finished with my second graduate degree.
Since I've been diagnosed with lupus, it has thrown a wrench in the simplicity of my life. However, It has had just as many positives as it has negatives on the various aspects of my day to day living. It has been an interesting journey so far with lupus and at points just down right scary, but I have learned so much. Just to name a few:
I appreciate my feel good days more than ever!
I know how to say no.
I eat better than ever- I try to eat a green smoothie every day.
My time management skills have greatly improved.
I know so much about many other conditions and diseases that it's actually helped me connect better with others.
I've gained more confidence.
I'm not as vain. (I guess losing most of your hair and having your face look like a cantaloupe will do that!)
It's ok to ask for help.
Complaining and being angry is more than acceptable (better out than in).
And so many more I plan on talking about down the road!
