    So well written & while I do not struggle with Myositis nor do I have children in my care any longer, a duo of your final bullets are my daily mantras …accentuating positives & expressing gratitude. My favorite and perhaps the toughest is cutting oneself some slack, if only we gave ourselves as much grace as we give one another…tomorrow I will work on that!
