Fibro Flowers

W. Sussex. Angela Andrews
What a beautiful find in the middle of the woods!! A fellow fibro friend who took this picture let me use it and for that I am thankful,...Angela. I look at this, and can imagine how it must smell. It looks so refreshing to me. We haven't seen this yet here in the Northwoods of Wisconsin! As a matter of fact, we can't seem to get two days in a row of sunny weather yet. Yesterday was such a gorgeous sunny day with the temp up to near 70 and now this morning it is gray and cloudy, the wind is blowing and it looks like it will be a rainy day. Purple flowers are a symbol for us fibro fighters. It is a symbol of hope and courage and strength.  I picture myself standing in the midst of these purple flowers with my hands in the air, and my nose taking in the fragrance......ahhhhh.....a renewing of spirit takes place! No doctor can do that for us.....no medicine....only the simple things that God gives us to enjoy each day! Let us not take them for granted. Take them in...notice them...enjoy them!

Fibro Fumbles

Yep...I still thought of another "F" word this morning for you faithful followers ...I am just about running out though, so may have to resort to another letter pretty soon! There are so many ways I have Fibro Fumbles....What exactly is a "fumble" you may ask? In my words....it is when you trip....for no apparent reason! It is when you drop something ....for no apparent reason! It is when you fall into the wall or fall into another person you are walking past...that is embarrassing! Oh yeah...almost forgot about the mouth kind of fumbles that can be ever so embarrassing!! The words won't come out right or the wrong words come out.....oops!!...  Didn't quite mean for it to sound like that...but it is usually too late to retract the words and your listeners not only are shocked but do not understand it is all a part of your problem!! Strangers really don't have a clue what is going on with you...I say right now to all my closest friends and family members....beware....I am trying to be careful with what comes out of this fumbling mouth but sometimes it just comes out too fast and the words are mixed up...and the funny thing is like two seconds later I already have thought of a much better way that I could have "said" such a thing! Be careful today with your  "Fibro Fumbling"!! Try not to drop anything and break it.....try not to trip over your own two feet and break a bone or something....and try not to get your foot in your mouth .....have a great day!!

Fibro Flutters

May a soft butterfly flutter around you today with hope, love,  joy, peace....and remind you to never give up! The sun is shining on this Easter morning here and with the sun bringing hope of some warm days in the near future! I can hardly wait to sit outside and soak up the warmth and watch those butterflies fluttering around my yard. Have a great Easter all of my Fibro Friends...may you feel the warmth of God's love, and have joy and peace that He gives and the strength to make it one more day!
