Despite Fibro I did it....

I can honestly say that I am not sure I would have done any of the following if I had not been diagnosed with Fibro and all of it's friends. It has given me motive to "NOT LET IT STOP ME" and to PROVE what I can do.

A few of the things that I have done are the following;

1.  Whitewater rafting in May

2.  Started doing things for myself.

3.  Began Blogging and love it.

4.  Began to have an actual dialogue relationship with my Parents.

5.  LAST NIGHT - ROCK CLIMBING

 

That's so cool!!!!

You have to enjoy life, we only get one go around.

I have just started blogging too, just put up one post so far.  We'll see where it goes.  I love writing.

With fibro I am still able to:

keep my full time job and stay independent

Be strong when dealing with personal problems and relationship problems

Stand up for myself and take care of myself

Set boundaries and not over do anything.

I enjoy life still, just maybe at a slower pace.  But it's all good.

Great topic.  Thanks.

I have kept up with a full time job and being a single parent to my three kids.

In part I think that Fibro has made me a better parent because my kids are learning how to do stuff I might not have bothered to teach them if I was healthy. Plus they are learning empathy, and that life sometimes throws you some unexpected curve balls but that you don't let it get you down.

I'm learning was is important, what is worth my limited energy, and that it is much easier to say no than I ever thought it would be.

Rah, rah, RAH!! -shakes her can-do attitude pom-poms-

It is good to look at the victories. It is human to want to dwell on the defeats. But then we defeat ourselves by only seeing what we can't do or didn't do.
