Hello hope your week went well! Here’s what we’ve got for you this week, curated from our Twitter feed. There’s some great perspectives from different people, living with various long term illnesses; one of them writes on why it’s okay to be upset with your illness, another on why suicide isn’t from a selfish origin, and yet another on acceptance and imparting life lessons to her kids.
There’s also a thought provoking article on meaning vs happiness in life, and a reminder for all caregivers to reach out and take care of themselves too. Finally we look at how the society we live in is too quick to judge who ‘qualifies’ as a disabled person.
I hope these weekly lists are of use to you. If you have any suggestions, feel free to leave them in the comments box below. Have a wonderful week ahead!
We owe it to ourselves to keep our bodies as happy and healthy as is possible!#happy #he… https://t.co/W7ELxdGxr5 pic.twitter.com/6MOIu0b8fo
