Pain has risen....but I push on...

So, the pain is full force these past few days. Had my little cry session and I'm feeling stronger now. I just have to realize that pain is my constant companion. It has to be looked at as a part of my life instead of a nuisance to it. I think that is the only way I'll be able to just push on with my life.
I wanted to participate in the Effer challenge this week because I love Shel Silverstein, and I wanted to do the Ad Challenge plus I had challenged myself to use fashion as an inspiration...but then the pain hit hard and I didn't have the energy. So instead I made the layout above...which is a combination of all the challenges. Even included inspiration from my tattoo in it as well.
I know I am strong enough to push on with this life...I'm not dieing, I'm just in pain. And my daughter, husband, family, job and friends are more than anyone could ask for. I am grateful for everything in my like and I would hate to trade this pain for any one of those things. This is just my cross to bare...whatever doesn't break you makes you stronger.
