Here I am, with a very optimistic title to my first ever blog. I guess I am hoping it will serve as a reminder for ME to "sing" everyday regardless of anything.
Let me preface all of this, in case anyone decides to read what I write.
I am a young woman, wife and proud mother of two very young children and I struggle with Fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain/chronic fatigue disorder. I am chronicling my efforts, albeit slow, to take back my life from pain.
Why a blog? I am not sure anyone will read this. As a matter of fact, I have not told anyone, not even my husband (yet) that I am starting this web journal of sorts. My life has been intensely effected by my condition, particularly in the last year. So much has radically changed, within and without. I am hoping that by starting a journal I will not only hold some accountability to myself to keep on in my efforts to LIVE and get better (opposed to what I feel is the half life I am getting by on), but also, just maybe if some other individual stumbles upon my nonsensical words JUST MAYBE they can find encouragement somewhere in knowing:
I'm here.
I'm trying too to get better.
To be better. To be the Me I know is in there somewhere.
Maybe crying and crawling and half asleep along the way, but by God's grace, I'm gonna get there!
So maybe I can't be a hit-the-ground-running kind of girl this time. I used to be. Let me see what I can do to fix that.
First step for me:
I finally stopped waiting on so-and-so and we buckled down and got that membership to the Y.
Next step, GO SWIMMING! aquatic therapy, best thing for us with FMS.
Now, if only I could feel as perky as this posting sounds.
