Easter with lupus.........

First i would like to say, Happy Easter Everybody!!!! Easter is a time that kids cherish, finding candy and than opening easter eggs to find yet more candy. But it's also to the religous a celebration of when christ rose from the dead. and than to me its a very special easter this year. Because it's my first easter with lupus.
Never was much of a person who cherished the first christmas, let's say, with a new haircut or new friend, i never had those really sentimental moments in my life, it was just another holiday with another change in life for me. but this is somehow different, even though it goes against everything i believe in. i believe that holidays are meant to be spent with family and friends and that any stress should momentarily be forgotten and any new changes, good or bad, should be dropped from the conversation. so i find it hard that i am writing this so freely. Lupys has taught me that change can happen with the blink of an eye, so cherish what you haev and do now because someday it might turn out differently. got a B on a math test you wanted to ace? well, think of it this way, you'll get more satisifaction when you take another test and get an A.  got dumped by your boyfriend? that's ok, it means you can find someone new and exciting.
there's always a down side and upside to lupus. i get to experience things some people never want to do or are interested in experiencing. i get people to listen to me, (not that i ever use my disease to help me get stuff) but it makes people want to listen to me more, like somehow having a disease such as lupus makes your voice heard, and whne your voice is heard, its easier to get certain points across.
so i just want to say, Happy Easter Everybody!!!!!! Even if things look bleak and grey now, or are perfect at the moment, just remember. change is the only consistent in life, so don't dwell over something, its going to change. more to come...from the easter bunny fan club..
