I had to give up a teaching career due to chronic illness but I've become a writer instead. The road was not easy. There were days I wanted to just give up and crawl under the covers for good. But I knew I wanted to find a way to make lemonade out of this lemon of an illness and I did. I like your idea of using this April Fool's Day to take a long hard look at our the choices we've made I really enjoyed this post because it encourages people with chronic illness to “think outside the box.” I had to give up a teaching career due to chronic illness but I’ve become a writer instead.

I have suffered through this very habit over the years. No matter how well I succeeded at a given job it has always been difficult for me to make leap to something bigger, higher-up or different. I would come up with all sorts of scenarios as to why my chronic illness would get in the way - often forgetting how successful I have been in balancing these issues in the past. Eventually I have to ask myself - "Is this new opportunity really so insurmountable? Are there not things I can do to balance out the difficulties I might face? What is the worst that can happen?"

Chronic illness throws way too many blockades and detours, takes all your energy to survive, work, housing, health insurance.....good thing jokes can get you to smile once in a while, like ones for this special day.
