Friday Favorite: The Spoon Theory
Those of you that have known me a while are probably familiar with this week’s Favorite, but I want to share it for anyone who hasn’t yet encountered it. It’s called The Spoon Theory, and was written by a woman named Christine Miserandino who was trying to explain living with a chronic illness to a friend. This line sums it up nicely, but go ahead and click above to read the whole story.
“The difference in being sick and being healthy is having to make choices or to consciously think about things when the rest of the world doesn’t have to.”
