Meme

I love finding funny or serious or even sad meme pictures that I can somehow relate to my life and/or the illnesses that I have.  Those little pictures seem to reach out with their words of wisdom, sadness, snark and laughter.

When I peruse the other blogs that I follow, I enjoy looking at pictures that people have chosen to use as a visual for where their mind and heart are at, in the moment. 

I came across this post yesterday and it was as if I had written it.  I think all of us who write a chronic illness blog can find ourselves in what she had to say.  We want so much to be able to commit to our blogs, share our experiences with others, and even find a measure of therapeutic relief with the spill of conscious thought.

But sometimes, by the very nature of having a disease, being sick, we cannot formulate cohesive thought and get the words onto the screen.   We're in pain and weak and tired so we promise ourselves that tomorrow we'll be better, do better.  

After some thought, I realized that it's okay (and not lazy at all) to post those meme pictures and either a brief caption beneath or nothing at all.  Sometimes, those pictures can say all of our words for us.
