Make your day the best you can!

Yes, chronic pain biteth, beyond all understanding.

Remember: we chose how to perceive our pain. Choose to accept it rather than let it bring you even further down.

And, above all, make it the best day you can!

Today, I am taking my car in for a brief tune-up and oil change, and going to the library. I also want to go to the gym. I will be out of town next week (and away from a puter), on a helping family trip.

Physically, it's been weird. Serious back pain several days last week (yes, I realize I over did it). And the past three days, it's like my body just shuts off when its had enough. Last night, we were listening to music in the park, a light breeze was blowing and bluegrass flowing, and snacks and water were had by all. Then, my body decided it was time to stop being attentive. I went to bed early.

Great topic, Myself 09, and a good reminder.

Started my garden work early today, because of the heat wave on the way. I'm planning on lots of inside activities and have to watch it so I don't overdo, as I had tons of fatigue the past week. I need to do some spot cleaning, as well as some sorting. Am going to find some time for an enjoyable book, too, even if only 15 minutes or so.

Wishing everyone a wonderful day! :)

Thanks, Myself 09. Running out of steam already, so that book is inviting!

Just an idea: Would either a plastic pitcher or plastic gallon milk jug fit under the outdoor tap? Both have handles, so it might make the water easier to carry.

I need to water, too. My plants are looking a little tired, but they're not desperate, and can wait til tomorrow.

Myself 09: I hear you: those several trips can get tiring, can't they? I've yet to hook up the hose and drag it out to the garden, but it's time for me to wear the big girl pants and do that! My water-filled milk jugs do the job for now, but not for long....

Yep--the tomatoes are at the 'really cute' stage now, aren't they? Can't wait til they turn red, though I need to watch the fiber.

Okay--1,2,3--go! Read!! :) (BTW, what exactly are we reading together?! LOL!) :)

It is so hot here there is an hmm orange code I think is what I heard. I cannot breathe outside so I am so super grateful that I have a/c & that I am able to stay inside.

It may reach triple digits by Wednesday so I don't know when I am going to run any errands. But no dire consequences if I stay in, thank goodness.

Despite the fact that we have had lotsa rain, we sure could use a cooling off shower.

My heart goes out to everyone who has to work in this heat.. which includes members of my own family. Fortunately some folks love this weather & go to the beach ( I am only 20-30 minutes away ) so they are happy.

Am coming out of a weeks long flare - finally !! Need to clean house, etc. But have felt so terribly exhausted I am not yet ready to start doing much.. Do not think I am the only fibromite who can barely eat when going thru bad flares.

I have showered & put on clean clothes every single day, which took a lot outta me but I made up my mind I wasn't gonna let pain take that away from me.

Hope every one has a wonderful day & all week too

Sherrine - good for you !!

I feel like I accomplished a lot today...even had time to write a poem.

 

Red are the roses on the bush that blooms

Fragrant is the air like a sensual perfume

 

Gentle is the breeze that tousles my hair

as I sit outdoors and lounge in my chair

watching the sunset without any cares

 

Another great day is nearing the end

I give thanks for these moments I'm able to spend

Thanks Luv

Hugs, Robin
