Our "New Year" Life Tapestry

Published: Jan. 2, 2023, 5:56 a.m.

2023 is here!\n\nA new year awaits. Will it be a good year, a difficult year, a happy year, a sad year?\n\nOne thing is certain, none of us really know.Have you looked closely at the back of a tapestry? Generally, they are full of threads in a bit of a jumble. It\u2019s hard to make out what the image is from this viewpoint.\n\nTurn it over and it reveals a perfect picture. It makes sense. The chaos of all those jumbled threads at the back is only half of the story. They are necessary to reveal something beautiful.If you\u2019re sitting at home as the New Year approaches, feeling like you can\u2019t see ahead, don\u2019t lose hope. You are not alone. Chronic illness can feel all-encompassing and does place huge limitations on our lives.\n\nIt doesn\u2019t have to make us a prisoner, though. We do this to ourselves if we only dwell on what we can\u2019t do, rather than what we can do.\n\nChronic illness is a part of our life, it\u2019s not all of our lives. I hope this first Podcast episode of 2023 helps you focus your thoughts in a way that ensures you are ready to embrace this New Year. I'm so looking forward to journeying through it with you. Happy New Year! #tapestries #newyearpodcast #happynewyear #chronicillness #chronicpain
