spoonie
"Spoon Theory" is an analogy used by people experiencing chronic pain or illness to describe their experience living with limited energy, which are symbolized by spoons. We start each morning with a finite amount of spoons, and each action—brushing teeth, eating a meal, completing a basic task—costs a spoon, and the spoons run out quickly.
The term "spoon theory" was coined in 2003 by Christine Miserandino, and since, the term "spoonie" has come to definite communities of people living with chronic illness who support one another through the experience.
This print is a vintage illustration of a spoon, intended to remind you both of your strength and also that your need to rest when the spoons have run out is okay. It's made on 100% post-consumer waste paper and mounted on sanded birch wood, so you don't have to go through the trouble of getting it framed to enjoy it on your wall or on a bookshelf.

🌱 On time and perfect. This is my second order from this store and I couldn't be happier. I contacted the owner beforehand to see if she could do a poem that wasn't listed and it was no problem at all for her. Great store and great customer service. — Craig, July 2020
