Reflections Of My Heart

Happy New Year!!

Wrote on my blog how lupus affected my hair and how I got it to grow.

I wish more people understood this

I’ll continue this journey working hard towards my goals lupus may have body but I have control

No matter our circumstances we should all live life to the fullest. It's too short not to.

K. Winston

Some people say its better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all The people who say this don't know losing a love hurts harder than banging your head against a wall At first love is great and for the most part Things are running smooth and sweet Until one day things change and you wish you could Turn back the hands of time and curse the day you too would meet Now, those sweet loving are arms that used to hold you Seem to belong to a stranger They no longer represent peace and protection Now they represent danger Those eyes you once looked into that Appeared to expose his soul Those eyes now expose something That is distant and cold There is good news, more hope And all is not lost But this time make sure to Guard your heart all cost

It's so easy to look at life and say it's not fair. I know I often look at mine and say this but then I realize that things could always be worse. There is always something to be grateful for. I am sick but not dead. I have food on my table, clothes on my back, and family that cares about me. Having lupus is one dark spot in my life, but everything else is bright and gives me the strength to fight so my lupus will not define me.
