Today Was OK

Some days are good, some are just okay, and honestly—some are downright horrible. That’s the rhythm of living with FMF and arthrogryposis. It’s unpredictable, and it’s not always easy to explain. But today? Today was OK—and that’s something I’ve learned to be grateful for.

I woke up tired, which isn’t unusual for me. Mornings tend to take a little extra time to get going. My body needs to stretch and ease into movement, like an old car warming up on a cold morning. Some of my friends chuckle about how long it takes me to get moving, and honestly, I laugh with them. I do love my sleep.

But then there are those surprising mornings—ones where I wake up refreshed and actually ready to take on the day. Those feel like little gifts, and I hold onto them.

Today wasn’t one of those high-energy days, but it wasn’t one of the really hard ones either. I moved slowly, I did what I could, and I showed up in my life—and for me, that’s enough. Living with chronic illness has taught me to honor the “OK” days. Because they mean I’m still in the game.

So tell me—how was your day? Was it good, OK, or just plain hard? Whatever it looked like, you’re not alone. Let’s support each other through every kind of day.
