\"click<\/a>I am taking it easy today with a self-imposed order of bedrest.
\n
\nI have a chronic illness called Crohn’s Disease<\/a>. I’ve had it forever, but was diagnosed with it in 1989. Someday soon I’ll write a post about that FUN summer in ’89, but for now, I rest.
\n
\nOne day of “complete” bedrest usually sends my body back toward wellness. But I really have to be diligent about the rest part. No laundry, no car trips, no cooking, no sitting in my office working. I can work from bed with my laptop, but not all day long.
\n
\nI’m on the brink of launching so many good ideas for my business that having to check out for a day is really quite inconvenient. But I know from my 20+ years of living with this disease when I have to take care of this body. Luckily, both of my kids are in school and hubby is home today, so I’m covered. And Scout the Dog is on my bed, so her doggie force will help heal me too.
\n
\nHope your day is filled with happiness and health. That’s what I’ll be looking for \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
