Each Day Already is a Challenge

A Texas Sunrise

Sunrise on Surfside Beach, Texas

A friend, William Taylor, took this picture. He visits Surfside Beach with his dogs almost every morning, watching the sun rise while the dogs prance about at the water's edge.

This is only about ten miles from where I lived in Lake Jackson, Texas. Sadly, I only visited this beach about four times in the six years I lived nearby.

Each day is a challenge. A challenge to get by without thinking about the fibromyalgia pains. A challenge to stay awake when chronic fatigure wants to take over. And a challenge to navigate through fibro fog.

I haven't been writing as much as in the past. For years, I wrote at least 500 words a day. Now, I'm lucky if I write 500 words in month. Sigh.

For more information about what my day (or life) is all about with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, chronic pains, IBS, depression and everything else thrown in, check this out:

In response to "Another breast cancer update..breast cancer warriors rock!!!"

Dang, my friend. When it rains, it pours. I believe that epitomizes your struggles.

Undergoing my own struggles with kidney cancer--outlined in my Blog--I both empathize and sympathize with your situation. I admit I've been extremely fortunate with the surgery and treatments I'm receiving. I also believe prayers work, something I'm not sure I believed until my wife got involved.

I'm praying for you. And I hope your cancer meds continue their success.

Thank you for sharing your story. It helps the rest of us.

We will wait another 6 months, unless the lump grows or something else happens.

In response to "I had to laugh "

Once you see it, I am sure it is hard to "unsee" it. LOL. I looked up the title but did not see it listed online. You don't see many bloopers like that around here, but I am sure they are out there.

In response to "Have we forgotten?"

I researched the falling man and looked at victim and family stories. I am sure there were some kind of city remembrance events. I did my own, allowing myself to watch the terrifying videos, and reports, and documentaries the entire day to remember. There already is a generation who don't remember anything unless they learned something in school or from their own family about the attacks of 9/11.

Dancing in the Rain

It's that time of year when everyone starts thinking about what happened in the current year and what he/she would like for the year to come.

As I pondered this, as I sat at my computer with my usual aches and pains plus my ears feeling as if they were frostbitten and my stomach burning and churning, I wondered what the new year would bring for me.

I discovered this quote by Patty Perricone, and decided that it would be great one as a focus for the new year.

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass.. It's about learning to dance in the rain. ~ Patty Perricone

Learning to dance in the rain. I like that.

My dancing in the rain will actually be learning to be joyful in spite of the pain. Sometimes I do that, but I want to be better at it. That is my prayer. Although I would certainly prefer being rid of the pains all together and would rejoice at having new energy and not being tired all the time, if that is not to be, then I want to face these challenges with a new attitude.

As always, God's word will help in that regard.

Psalms 51:10 KJV Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

Will you join me in discovering how to dance in the rain this coming year?
