More than a thousand words...

Pictures have a way of speaking volumes. These pictures show that our illnesses are not always invisible.

Picture 1 shows me on a good day. I was able to put on makeup, got to work and be productive. I even wore a bold lip color that day because I was feeling it. 

 

Picture 2 shows a tired, painful me, who hasn't been to work in about three weeks. To me, I look weak at the eyes and just tired. Check it out...NO MAKEUP! That is an important distinction to make for me because I love my makeup. It's a creative outlet. And this day, I'm not feeling it. And don't miss the fact that I have my heating pad on my shoulders.
