Friday, 26 April 2019. Issue #158.
In this issue: The interesting home hacks and resources I’ve learned from other bloggers. Concentrating your limited energy on positive thoughts and activities, instead of wasting it on self blame. Don’t give up on your ‘unsociable’ friend, we really do want to stay in touch. What the healthy and ill alike can do, to build a more empathetic society. Why I write even though it means putting your private life and infirmities on display. The hurt when someone questions the validity of your pain, when you’ve been giving it all your. Writing is one way of exploring your emotions, which can lead to understanding them, and thus finding ways to cope. The chronically ill within church (or religious) communities who feel isolated. The exhaustion you feel 24/7/365 just from doing something simple such as buying groceries. The Disability Blogger Award started by chronillicles.com, specially for certain niches.
