counting blessings

[brightrosefox]

And now I'm coming down with a head cold. And PMS. And another fibro flare.
Hey, body, what the fuck?
*annoyed grunt*

But, you know, as someone else said, I should count my blessings. I know what I'm lucky for, grateful for. This? This pain? This discomfort? This can be treated and battled and ridden through. It could be worse and it's not.

I shall quote the very wise someone else, dragon_spirit:
"People cry about the cups that have spilled, but don't even notice they still have two perfectly full cups left. They can't even conceive of what it's like to have no cups at all."

I still have a full cup or two. Sometimes one of the cups gets spilled, and if I don't catch it in time, I'll have an empty cup. Or maybe a half-full cup. And I'll take what I can get. Because the cups can be refilled.

I bet she said that during or about a tarot reading. ;)

Precisement! As you guessed, I said that regarding the Five of Cups, along with a picture of the card from the Rider-Waite deck.

Actually, in a post in the fibromyalgia community. :) You know her, I take it?
