For me this week is kind of like a holiday to celebrate. Nothing on the calendar the past few days for a holiday. My holiday has nothing to do with Flag Day today or Father’s Day on Sunday. So what is this personal holiday for me?
It is finally being able to open the windows. I have tree pollen allergies, bad tree pollen allergies. I am one of those who checks tree pollen counts every day starting usually in late March when the trees start to bud until usually the end of May but it took longer this year. The count is down to almost zero. So I opened to windows yesterday and slept with the windows open last night. Glorious fresh air 🙂
Allergies may not sound like a big deal, but living with chronic illness allergies feel like a bit of piling on. Now I can enjoy the sunny days and not worry. Sunshine is important for our bodies because our bodies make Vitamin D while we are in the sun.
I am looking forward to heaven because there is no sickness there. That means no fatigue, pain, and also no tree pollen problems. 🙂
It helps me cope with living with chronic illness to remember that it is not forever. I tend to take each day as it comes realizing that each day also brings me one day closer to being with Jesus. If it is a bad day, I try to not let it get me down and tell myself it is one day. If it is a good day, I enjoy it.
Jesus taught in Matthew 6:
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own”.
I don’t know if tomorrow will be a difficult day or a good day. I only know I am not in tomorrow yet. Today is what is in front of me. This morning I woke up ready for my day, well after coffee of course. 🙂
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
