Hit the ground running?

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.
