It's been awhile since I've written a post! Although during my hiatus, I have continued to add to my drafts. You really don't want to know how many drafts I've saved...

In order to mark my return to writing, I've decided to offer a giveaway. I have some ideas for future giveaways, but I'd like to hear from you, dear readers. Is this something that interests you?

The Giveaway

I believe that when you have a chronic condition, the best thing you can do is to be proactive. I have rheumatoid arthritis, but it does not have me! Chronic pain can take over your life - it happened to me, when I didn't know any better in my 20s, 30s and 40s. Back then, I would have said that rheumatoid arthritis had me!

But, there's wisdom with age. I am doing so much better by adopting a number of different strategies to live well with RA. Another topic for a blog post!

I've put this giveaway together to encourage you to take a step, then another step, then another, in the direction you want to go. Remember, it's a process, so it won't happen over night. Please consider this part of your self-care strategy.
