What I wish my illness could do in my absence

Go for a run in the hills.
Climb a mountain.
Watch the sunrise from a hilltop.
Smell the wild flowers.
Camp under the stars

Turbulent times will bring out the best in you, to make you stronger for yourself, and for others. Living with ME(cfs) and Bipolar Disorder, I'm now taking one day at a time and arming my spirit and body with joy, love and gratitude for the journey ahead.
