Do you ever just have a bummer day? When Pain ust gets to you and life is a bit tough.
Today has been one of those days. Where the pain seeps through every muscle and joint and I just want to cry out. Yet I know this won't last, that better days will come. But for today this is where I am. I could laugh it off, pretend it wasn't so, but then I don't live in the present.
So I choose to live through this and know that better times do come.

I also learned a new lesson with Fibro. That when you overdo certain muscles, it doesn't just effect those muscles. It effects my whole body and my whole body responds.
That was an eye opener. I don't think I really realized that. It is like having a budget and going beyond those boundaries, it causes havoc. When I go beyond my boundaries of energy and physical ability I am in a deficiet and it takes longer to heal.

How often do you go beyond your boundaries? A new adventure is going beyond your boundaries and it is an adventure in learning new things. Or do you push yourself beyond what you can truly do. It is a lesson we learn often, and have to readjust our thinking.

I have had to do a lot of readjusting in my thinking, how to do tasks differently, using my energy and time in incriments, not a full out run at full tilt. Can you tell what I was use to doing? It doesn't work well with dealing with Fibro. So this is an "old dog" learning "new tricks" and it can be done. Slowly and surely it can be done.

So tomorrow is another day and I expect it to be better, to be able to use my time and energy differently. To enjoy the moments where I am functioning better and realize that there will be days where I am bummed but they don't last forever. That there is hope for another day, and lots of wonderful people that care for me and pray for me. That keeps this girl going.
So thank you each one.
