Motivation

For those of you who are regular readers, I'm sorry for the lack of postings lately.  Along with having hPOTS, I am dealing with some issues in one area of my life right now that have negatively impacted me.  I can sum it up briefly by describing these issues as "mean people".  And I will leave it at that for now other than to say that I haven't felt motivated to write for a while. 

However, I did want to share with you something really really good that has happened, and that is the birth of my beautiful nephew William! 

William has been a strong positive motivation for me to get better and in one of my very few social outings this year, I went up to the hospital to visit him the day he was born.  I was able to get to his room with the help of a wheelchair and my husband who kindly pushed me around in it. 

My first impression of William is that he seems to be a calm and laid back little guy.  He let lots of people hold him and pass him around without much fuss on his very first day of life.  He cried a little when he didn't like something but then he got over what bothered him and just enjoyed laying around wrapped up snugly in a warm blanket. 

I'm going to try and take a cue from him and not spend so much time fussing and worrying about things that aren't worth any time fussing and worrying about.  And maybe I'll keep a warm blanket close at hand during the day.  :-)
