I think that a lot of people today are feeling that way - healthy as well as sick!<br /><br />It can seem overwhelming and as if one person can't make a difference...but the amazing thing is that many single people coming together CAN actually make a real difference in the world! We see signs of this all over the world.<br /><br />In our chronic illness world, I often post here on the blog about small steps we can each take - even from bed! - to help make a difference. Things like clicking a link to send a message to your Congressional representatives or using iGive to donate to the charity of your choice (for free) when you shop online or many other small efforts that when taken together, add up to real changes! In fact, I will be posting in the next few days about an easy way to let your Congressional reps know that ME/CFS funding needs to stay in place and get increased (it is in danger of being left out of the budget again). This sort of effort worked the last time we were in this situation, and it can work again, if we all act. We are stronger together!Sue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-41454498929443669482017-08-06T10:04:10.553-04:002017-08-06T10:04:10.553-04:00Once upon a time, I worked hard to change the worl...Once upon a time, I worked hard to change the world. I am older now, the limitations of my illness are finally being considered instead of fought. I see that all my work has been for nothing. All the 'bigger' entities in this world still keep moving forward. All my efforts were for naught.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
