Each Day Already is a Challenge
A Texas Sunrise
 
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:

Hi y'all. Just popping in to let you know that my hubby, Incurable Romantic   is having a birthday today. It's a biggie. He's turning 60. Y'all go ahead and tell him what an old fart he is now. Okay? |

I spend a lot of time at Gather.com. I went there after one of our Writing.com members was disrespected in ways no one deserves. I stayed because, as many of you know, I haven't been able to work for years. At Gather, I can post articles, photos and videos, plus comment on articles, photos and videos...and get paid for being there. You start out earning points for gift cards, but if you get enough points in a month, you can change to cash instead.
I wasn't real active when I started there. But once I got a new computer that could actually view the videos, I decided to try for the cash option.
Lo and behold, the month that I tried, I succeeded. Yippee skippy. I just checked this morning, and since March 26, 2008, I have earned $443. No, that's not much. But it's lots more than the programs that give you points for reading an email. (I've earned 5 gift cards in 3 years from MyPoints and $20 total from Memomail/Memolink.)
Anyway, Gather just announced a new contest. It's an invite-a-thon.
There will be a daily drawing for points (for both the inviter and invitee). Then there will be five winners where the inviter and invitee both get $100 in Gift cards. Sounds great to me.
If you're interested in being invited, let me know. I have to send you an email.
If you're curious, here's my Daily Whine & Shine:

Don't forget. In order for both of us to be in the contest, I have to invite you by email.
While we're talking about making minimal money, here's another one. Cash only.(Well, PayPal.) I don't spend much time there, and usually only earn about $10-15 a month.
BUT....
I use the earnings from these places to keep my membership at Writing.com going. You could do that too.

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