I have had a rare disease since childhood. Juvenile Dermatomyositis is a 3-in-a-million disease that affects primarily the skin and muscle tissues of the body. I've always had a bit of a hard time opening up about my disease, but I know that in order to increase understanding I have to take the step and be vunerable. So this is a true story about life with a chronic and invisible illness....
Count it ALL joy
My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.James 1:2-4 (NKJV)

I just adore this quote:
"There are plenty of fish in the sea. But really, there's not. It's not just our imaginations. It would be great if decent men were as plentiful as jumping salmon in a rushing river, but they aren't. For every Mr. Darcy there are a hundred Mr. Wickhams. Or in more contempory terms, for every Colin Firth, there are several thousand Hugh Grants. The odds are against us. But what can I say--I'm a romantic, and I can't abandon the fantasy of Prince Charming altogether. What girl with a heart can? I mean, I'm not asking to feed the five thousand; I just want one good fish!" --Morgan Milliard, character in the book "A Girl's Best Friend" by Kristin Billerbeck
