Write about something presently in your life that is “worth it.”<\/b>

\nWhew…there are so many things that I could write about. The kids, the man, the dehoarding, the working…but really, I think that they all boil down to one thing. The struggle, the fight. Some of you may read over at Welcoming Weight Loss<\/a> so you know that I deal with PTSD, Bipolar 2, and OCD on a daily basis. It’s not always easy and some days are far easier than others. It often means though that I just “don’t want to.” The motivation isn’t zero, it’s negative one million. I’m “out of spoons” or however you want to say it. There are days when I want to do it all. Of course, those are the days that what gets done isn’t really what needs to get done. It can be a lot to be me, but the struggle is worth it. Every day that I listen to me and I take care of me makes things just a little bit easier. Every day that I take my medication, I get out of bed, and I work is worth it. It allows me time with my children. It allows me time with the man. It allows me to find me and to be me. If I didn’t fight the fight, I would be missing out on a lot and the world would be missing out on me. It’s not always easy, but it’s always worth it. I have days where I forget that, but I’m lucky that I have those who will help me fight on those days. Today, I have a lot to do and there’s an underlying voice saying that I don’t want to…but the laundry will get folded, the posts will get written, and I will fight on. I hope you’ll join me in fighting the fight that keeps you here with us all.<\/p>\n
