peace...

 

good morning...

no complaints here...

some days are harder than others...

but you have to learn to lean on Him...

even on the good days...

so when the bad days happen...

you are already where you need to be...

be well, be blessed!

keep prayed up!

 

wishes for you...

hope your day is such a blessing for you...

and that God is showing you new things...

blessing you with something special...

and that peace comes easily today...

hugs...

 

fibro friday 2...

fibro people are just super sensitive to EVERYTHING!

on a bad flare day, it's a challenge...

when it's really bad, you have to get quiet...

noise hurts...

you have to get somewhere dark...

light hurts...

you cannot have candles burning or even laundry...

because the smell hurts...

clothes have to be soft...

really, really soft...

or they hurt...

we have to be careful what we eat, drink, take for symptoms...

pain meds do not work on fibro...

muscle relaxers help more for me...

but they make me sleep all the time...

so I avoid them...

when I do take them, it's only half a dose...

I have room darkening shades in the bedroom...

big fluffy pillow...

soft, soft sheets and blankets...

it's my safe place when moments are bad...

weather changes, heat and cold are not my friend...

my body is not my friend...

some days are better than others...

but it never, ever goes away...

and we know we cannot complain about it...

no one wants to hear the truth...

so when you ask me how I am...

I simply reply...

I'm fine, how are you?

be well, be blessed...

and if you have fibro...

hang in there...

you got this...

keep praying...

keep moving...

and when you need to...

find your safe place until the major storm passes...

 

tend to the garden...

God's garden...

for yourself and others...

be the fruit...

blessings...

 

this...

 

oh, how true this is...

and when you follow Him...

and are obedient to Him...

you will be disliked by the enemies of God...

just know you are in the right place...

stay in the light, be the light, share the light...

be blessed....

as long as...

 

as long as we have faith in God above...

all these things are possible...

He is the key to our hearts...

and in Him is peace...

have good days...

he made it...

Craig is now in Canada...

made it safe and sound...

Doug will come up when we need extra help...

DH is 70 now...

I will be 63 next month...

so we need some help from time to time...

it used to be we're getting old...

now it's...

yep, we're here...

LOL

have blessed days and keep it simple...

 

prayers please...

 

if you got some time...

could you pray for Craig today?

he is flying to Canada to see his girlfriend...

from Indy to Utah and then onto Canada...

he will be gone for 3 weeks...

we will miss him for sure...

but he needs a vacation...

have good days and blessings to you...

we need more rain...

 

we are still a bit dry here...

the tomatoes have blooms...

fighting raccoons at the bird feeders at night...

staying inside most of the time now...

the fibro and arthritis have advanced through the years...

I have not gardened at all this year...

don't sit on the deck...

don't go out to eat or shop...

but that's ok...

on bad days, full of pain...

I stay in the word...

and pray it down...

I sleep 4 times a day now...

1.5 - 2 hours at a time...

take a shower every other day...

I don't get dirty or sweaty...

showering every day dries out my skin so much...

I will share little bits here and there about my life now, compared to what I could do 5 years ago...

if you are interested...

be blessed...

happy sabbath...

 

I hope you have a wonderful day...

I am running a bit late this morning...

wonky night sleeping...

be blessed!

welcome to fibro fridays...

 

this is something that I have thought about doing for a long time now...

I have fibro...

30+ years and going...

it's not easy...

I know there are so many others out there...

who this might help...

and if you don't have it, you might know someone who does...

there is no cure, yet...

no magic pill that makes it go away...

and there are so many triggers...

but we go through each day...

sometimes one moment at a time...

I need God every second of every day to do this...

and every friday, I will post something on fibro...

hope you join me...

all the time...

 

morning...

 

love...

 

happy day!

hope your weekends were awesome...

ours was pretty calm...

Craig will be heading to Canada for 3 weeks next Tuesday...

so we only got a week with him until he goes...

our summer has been mostly hot and humid...

not doable for me to be outside...

I watch my world from the kitchen windows now...

and that's ok...

we need to be praying for Texas now...

the flooded areas are horrible...

so many gone and still missing...

praising God for the those who were found...

what a thing to survive...

be kind, be smilin', be blessed...

 

spread light...

 

your attitude is contagious...

you have to power in your smile, kind words...

to change the course of other lives who might be struggling today...

we all have those kind of days...

so lift others up...

be His light in this world...

be blessed...

never, ever...

try to tell God what you need...

never, ever limit His answer!

hope you are having a good weekend...

be blessed and stay cool...

 

happy 4th...

 

Lord, restore this nation...

and bless her with your grace...

celebrate!!!

 

just a few things I found this morning...

be blessed this holiday!

have a safe one!

 

a little fun...

happy 4th...

thankful for this country...

with all it's flaws...

God Bless America!

sending you this...

may your day be filled with all the awesomeness God has...

remember to look up for the best views in life...

and be blessed...
