Making a Memory

I'm laying in bed trying to remind myself this little snowfella is worth every bit of exhaustion and every symptom that's flaring. It's funny how POTS works. Every day, every activity, big or small, is a gamble. Did you do too much and send yourself into a flare? Did you not move enough? When one day a shower costs you 4 spoons and the next day it costs you 10, it's hard to find a balance and live a "functional" life.

That's why I LOVED today so much. I CHOSE to overdo it. I didn't let the inevitable consequences hold me back (having vacation time to recover may have been a deciding factor 😋) and it felt so dang good! So even though I'm feeling rather flare-y, I'd do it all again. Because while I can't always find the balance of should-i-do's and should-i-not's, today I got to live the beauty of rebelling from my illness AND i got to do my favorite thing; I made a memory. Side note: I just need to shout a quick praise because I actually got to build this snowman without fainting. Is God GREAT or what?!
