An Introduction to Chronic Wholeness

I will be writing about chronic illness in the context of wholeness or wellness.  I chose this to be my theme or purpose: pursuing wholeness in brokenness, strength in weakness, health in illness.

Chronic illness is sickness that lasts constantly.  Wholeness is being full, complete.  One could say that wholeness regarding chronic illness is completely, fully sick.  However, my perspective is seeing wholeness as the choice to be complete, to live fully even with chronic illness.
