Often when mood is low we are encouraged to keep on as normal to avoid getting in to the perpetual downwards spiral of 'the worse you feel, the less you do; the less you do, the worse you feel', as shutting ourselves away can make our mood even lower.

However, we need to give ourselves grace with RA and this reinforces that so beautifully.

I need to take on board that a rest is not defeat as I'm pretty hopeless at resting and feel just so weary, mind, body and soul at present.

It's a lovely poem with enough bounce to put a smile on your face but, as Boxerlady said, bring a tear to your eye at the same time. We are nolonger the invincible beings we once were and we have to learn for ourselves what that looks like for us.

Thank you for sharing that.

Hi McMayo, that is awesome!! Love it!!

Would you mind if I used it on FB?

Ahh these responses have made me tearful 😒 Yes share as much as you want to! I saw this and felt it appropriate to us all. This group aided me in the right direction when I was lost so I am so pleased I could give a little back ❀️
