This is what I want be doing, therapy....major therapy.  Sewing that is, it isn't what I get to do right now.  Right now it is just dealing with dr appts for dh.  You can't always do what you want, you do have to do what is at hand.  So I can dream of thearpy that hopefully sooner than later I will get to do.

I did spend some time this weekend watching the grand girls playing in the pool.  They sure had fun and are water babies whenever they get the chance.
Their other set of grandparents were up visiting them.  I like that we can talk about our grands, laugh at their antics, enjoy their silliness.  I loved to swim as a kid.  My mom was determined that all 4 of her children would know how to swim well because she never learned.  She did not want us to have the fear that she did.  She tried to learn when we were pre adolescent, and ended up getting strep throat from the lake she was in.  That was it for my mom.  Life jackets are her friends if she is in the water.  My dad was a wood shop teacher and made canoes.  We learned how to go down easy rivers and on the lakes.  Mom did a couple of trips with us.  I congratulate her for her bravery.  On one of those floats on a river we did often, we found a picnic table that someone had thrown in.  So Mom brought the truck and we pulled it out.  It was ssssssssssooooooooooooo heavy from being in the water, it was water logged indeed.  It was a fun picnic table in our backyard because we used it all the time and it was part of our adventure.  Great memories to share with the grand kiddos.

So the organizing has been on hold for the last couple of weeks, I got to do a wee bit yesterday and will do a wee bit today.  I have to remind myself, that a little is still forward progress.  I guess each of us have to do the same, that a little progress is still progress.  At times, it is easier to want to give up when you can't do it when you want to, like you want to.  The reminder for me, in dealing with fibro and my unpredictable body is that a little progress is still some progress.  So with that in mind I shall go do a wee bit more............
