Yesterday I was asked by the owner of a local pizza restaurant if I'd like to come in and paint something on a wall. They had recently repainted & it has sort of a "hippie" atmosphere, it's sort of a town hangout. Well it meant I would need to stand for a couple hours & I was a little worried how I'd do. I almost said no because of Fibro. Once I got there, I found that I'd need to stand on an upholstered booth seat too. My arms really hurt holding them up. My neck is going to hurt too, but I am glad I did it. I painted a Cheshire type cat (huge human toothy . grin)& he has a thought balloon above him that shows he is thinking about
a slice of pizza. It will be there for many years to come & has my name on it. Kids are really going to like it. Really glad I did it -- just expecting my pain payback to hit. Still, it was worth it.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! You didn't let fibro steal this away from you! The pain will be long gone in a few days but yet your artwork will remain for years! I'm really proud of you for not giving in to fibro!
