Perspectives

Today hasn't been the best day health-wise, but I think I understood something in a different way today. I know my illness doesn't just effect me, it effects the people around me, but my reaction to that knowledge has always been to feel guilt that I am ruining things for others, and get kinda mopey. That's my instinctive reaction to most things I think, to feel bad for doing them, but today I saw it from a different perspective. Those around me know about my illness, and accept it as part of me. My being down on myself does nobody any favours, so I owe it to those who stick around to do what I can. That's it, just do what I can. Not focus on what I can't do, but what I can.
It's such a simple lesson it makes you wonder why I've never got it before, doesn't it?
