Kelly, thank you for sharing your journey with us. It did bring a smile to my face, and it was encouraging to read your list. I have been going through a bad flare and your words helped me to see it for what it is, a flare, the pain will calm down.

This morning I asked my husband for some encouraging words, some words of truth, he has been on this journey with me and can see it more clearly. He reminded me it was a flare, and that many others have them also, and that I will get through it. He is a blessing in my life, as we all know how discouraging living with CRPS can be. I was glad that I asked for his encouraging words today.

May we all see the good that is all around us each and every day, gratitude will always be am important and necessary part of my life. When I least feel gratitude, is when I most need gratitude. The sun is shining on a cold February day, we are one day closer to spring. I am finding this winter that the cold does make the pain noticeably worse. I sit with the heating pad wrapped around my foot and it does help some. No matter what I am going through the words....This too shall pass.....are a comfort and a truth that I take to heart.
peace
