Sometimes those of us with Fibromyalgia can feel like a weed and forget that we are a beautiful creation of God...in spite of our symptoms from our disease. We can either shrivel up like a flowering weed or we can shine in this wonderful world of ours. Just because we are in pain most of the time, fatigued and foggy brained, we are still like a flower to our friends and family. Our attitudes are up to us.... we can either be negative or positive.
Let's work together to do things that make us still feel like achievers... new hobbies and goals, new friends. We might not be able to be that "A" type of person we once were but we can brighten our own world and the world of others in simpler ways.
Do you know a mother who is exhausted with the duties of motherhood? How about inviting her to come have a cup of tea... or taking a pretty cup filled with a mixture of tea bags and let her know you were thinking of her. Do you know a shut in, whose life could be brightened with a card or a phone call? A hand written note sent to someone in a nursing home or retirement home, crocheting and knitting hats for kids, or lap robe's for someone ill can brighten our own spirits as well as theirs.
Baking some cookies and taking them to a neighbor who has had a rough time can be an upper for both of you.
The whole message I'm trying to share is that "if it is to be, it's up to me"... When we forget self and do things for others, we feel so much better (and so do they). We are able to get above our pain and enjoy life once again.
Have a wonderful day....
