During my ten day remission, several people asked me, what are you going to do now? It got me wondering, if I could do anything, what would that be? I realized just how much I love my business. It’s amazing that I essentially get paid to write & run a jewelry store. There are healthy people all over the world who want to be writers but are unable to make their living at it.

I always wanted to be a writer, but in college I decided to be more practical & be a paralegal & then go to law school. Eventually, fibromyalgia shot that idea apart. I ended up being a writer eventually anyways. I guess if I didn’t have to worry about money & I had perfect health, I would essentially keep doing what I do as far as work goes. I’d blog from a fabulous beach somewhere surrounded by Matt Damon lookalikes who would bring me low fat cheese crackers on silver platters. Yes, my dream includes cheesy crackers that won’t make me fat, a girl can dream.

The entire in remission out of remission in such a short period of time was quite frustrating. It got me wondering if it wouldn’t have been better to just have stayed sick & not gotten my hopes up. Even then, it was a beautiful thing to realize that I am right where I want to be as far as the things that I can control in my life. As far as my business goes I wouldn’t change it, even if I was healthy.
