This has been on my mind for quite sometime. I had $This has been on my mind for quite sometime. I had a hunch this would start happening to people, once I heard that mask mandates were being lifted in certain places. Last week a post I made for @creaky_joints was shared with the arthritis community. It posed this question: How many of you will be wearing a mask for the long-term? Many replied with what they plan to do, and almost everyone said they will continue to wear one. One person @fifishannon shared their thoughts and experience of the exact scenario I’m referencing in this post. See next photo {posted with permission}. Everyone’s situation is different. We don’t know what someone else is going through or who they are keeping in mind when wearing a mask. And before you think someone is living in fear or being ‘stupid’ for wearing a mask now, stop and think. Maybe they are just being proactive about their health and specific situation. I know I will continue to wear a mask for my own personal reasons- just like I was before this all started. Wearing a mask in the chronic illness space isn’t anything new. If the mask isn’t on your face, it shouldn’t bother you if it’s on someone else’s. You would think after almost three years people would learn what compassion, empathy and minding your own business means. . . . . #chronicillness #arthritis #covidisnotover #spoonielife #immunocompromised #rheumatoidarthritis #spooniesupport #chronicpain #fatigue #humira #methotrexate #wednesdaywisdom #chronicillnessawareness #disability #disabilityawareness #arthritissucks #arthritisawareness #creakyjoints #rawarrior #arthritiswarriors #chronicfatigue #juvenilearthritis #maskup #thoughts #thoughtsoftheday$

During a recent conversation with Colleen over @ma $During a recent conversation with Colleen over @mad4minnie she shared a heartfelt and emotional story about one of her doctors who was always there for her. It got me thinking about my own experiences and medical providers who’ve helped me along the way. 💕 Over on YouTube today you can catch Colleen sharing her journey, positive outlook on life, how she has adapted to life's challenges with both RA and a limb difference, and doing everything 'The Colleen Way.' {and what that means}. Also take note because April is Limb Difference Awareness Month, and Colleen will be hosting a giveaway for the picture book Baking Up a Storm by Jessica Parham @jessicaparham_author to raise awareness for inclusion. Make sure to not miss out on that.🧡 I know I won’t! 🔗 Link in bio… to watch or listen to this truly inspirational convo! ✨$
