Hello my friend! 😊
You can't worry about what others think and say, but only about how you react to what they are doing and saying to you. I am at the stage in my life that if you're a negative person and you like to suck the energy out of others, than I've got no time for you, but if you're kind and positive and try to do your best in any situation, we can be friends, probably fast friends. Why bother making ourselves miserable just to make others happy, life is way too short for that. 😊
I spent a lot of years on ever increasing doses of morphine for chronic pain due to an injury I sustained in the military. For more than a decade I "sucked it up" and soldiered on, but my quality of life was horrible. When I finally released, medically, from the military, my life wasn't great and I wanted to give up many, many times. Then I found Christ. He saved me from doing something that couldn't have been undone and slowly, very slowly, I got myself off the morphine, started using medicinal plants, herbs and oils for pain management, which gave me back my life. I'm still not as active as I once was, but I move and do things every single day and that has improved my quality of life so much. It's like I've got a new lease on life, honestly, though there are still some days that the pains overwhelming, they are far fewer and in between days are much better. I'm blessed. 😊
For those that can't understand what you're going through/struggling with yourself, let them go. If they don't care enough to consider your issues, even after you explain what they are to them, then they aren't worth the energy, let them go and move on. Live your best life, we all should let go of those that don't care enough to care, just my opinion, of course. 😊
God bless you and your wonderful family. Have an awesome day my fabulous friend! 😊
