Yeahhhhh February

Yes, I am looking forward to a couple of things this month. My grandaughter has her 6th birthday and at the end of the month we are awaiting our first grandson. Quite the month ahead. I am also looking forward to the weather warming up a bit. Soon spring will be here.

On my FM journey, the pain level has finally gotten better. I really feel like I have some breathing space and that is making life a whole lot eaiser to handle. I have enjoyed a bit of sewing again. I am so so so graeful for that. Makes me want to Happy Dance.

Isn't it interesting that when we feel better, life is better. How much an important factor that is in our lives. I know I cannot change the diagnosis they give me, but I can try to find answers that work for me and allow me to have a quality of life. I can't do exercise, or movements like I use to, but I can still move. I have to think more about how I approach activites and recognize what is ok and what is too much. So there is that learning curve again.

I think that we have learning curves in all areas of our lives. I want to approach mine with grace, so I can give that same grace into others. Pain can be physical, emotional, mental and all those can bring challenges. I want to give others grace as I have been given it. It means sometimes others will be up and sometimes they will be down, just need to chat and vent it out, and at other times, I am the one who needs to do that. But allowing people that grace of letting it out. I know when I keep my emotions pent up, then I do not do as well. For me, I need to talk, or write in my journal, or have a good scream in my pillow. But I need to let it out so I can let it go. Here is the other part, slowing down enough to recognize it and let it out.

It is crazy how busy life can get, nothing world inspriring just everyday ordinary life. I like it a lot. It says this"There is more to life than increasing its speed." Mahatma Gandhi It is on a little magnetic picture frame that I got from Mary Janes Farm. IT has made me slow down and think. A good idea for this girl.

I hope each and every one of you are having a slowed down and graceful weekend. May it bring smiles and joy and a huge bunch of laughter.
