Self-Assessment Assignment
This meditation really brought about things I have been struggling with and helped me to
find some ways that I might be able to cope with these issues. For eight years I have thought
lupus was going to be what took me to my grave, and this last illness showed me that anything
could be the end to my life. An intestinal infection almost took me from this earth. I also
learned that my insecurities from the past are unnecessary and only hurting those that I love. As
I begin to work on relaxing and softening the tight and tense areas of my body these things came
to mind and solutions followed as I worked on it. I do not have but 3-4 photos of myself and my
daughter who just turned 10 years old. My husband and I, outside of our wedding photos, might
have a handful of photos together. Worst of all I do not have one family photo. I hate taking
photos because of the way my body has changed, the lupus rash so prominent on my face, the
scars, and the urticarial urticarial lesions on my body.
Lying in that hospital bed not knowing if my body was going to kick the illness or not I
thought what do my daughter and husband have to remember me by once the pills are all
removed from the nightstand, and my clothes are cleaned out of the closet? So we now have a
family photo scheduled to be taken on Christmas Eve in our matching pajamas. I do not care if
people see how overweight I am, the lesions, the scars or the rash because it is who I am. As
long as I am taking care of myself and doing what I am able to do then I am doing well. I want
to make sure that the memories she has of me will last her a lifetime.
Just because I made a mistake before I was diagnosed of documenting things because I
thought I had a lifetime to do so, does not mean I should continue this way due to depression and
thoughts of sadness. I have not been very interested in Christmas this year and through my
meditation I realized it was because I was looking forward to Thanksgiving so much and my

becoming ill that day took the holiday away from everyone that was supposed to come. I have a
fear I will become ill again and let everyone down. Instead of feeling this way I am looking at it
as I am doing what I can to take care of myself so I will be healthy and happy to make some
more beautiful memories with my family.
