I get pretty exhausted dealing with chronic pain and all the other stuff, but I never stop fighting. Part of what helps is the support group I have built around me: my wife, friends, an online social network and plenty of doctors and therapists. I heard a great quote today, a line from a poem by Adrienne Rich, that I found worth sharing:
"There must be those among whom we can sit and weep and still be counted as warriors."
What keeps you fighting the good fight? Consider those around you: do they allow you to vent and rail and scream and weep and then help push you back into battle? When was the last time you thanked them just for that?
