I tend to be a 1/2 glass full kind of girl. I actually had a friend who told me to be less nice. She was having a bad day. LOL So, if these kinds of posts get on your nerves just let me know.

Almost Medfree told me she liked my signature. Thank you, Almost.

But, have you had any blessings come out of your journey with fibro (or olther bad things?)

I feel that I'm a more considerate person because I understand pain. I have always treasured my family and friends but even more now. One never knows when they will feel up to visiting or doing something with them.

Just a couple of my "mercies of my life."

Hi Lendi: I like your saying you're a "1/2 glass full kind of girl." That's a good thing! smile

It can be hard to see anything positive about fibro, but yes, even when I get a terrible flare, I try to remember there are people worse off than me in many ways. I'm also thankful for my fibro "tools" (meds, my "bed buddy," heating pad, microwave to heat "bed buddies," healthy food and supplements, etc.).

It's so easy to dismiss all of these when we hurt, and sometimes I forget, but I still try to be thankful.

ETA: Goodness--I'd better not forget to add that I'm also thankful for this forum and all the good, compassionate, and helpful people here! yeah

You're welcome, Lendi.

Very nice post. What blessings I feel from coming down with fibro and my various other injuries is it has helped me become a more compassionate, helpful, empathetic person.

And, yes, I try to be a 1/2 glass full kind of girl too, but that can be very hard on those difficult days.

When it comes to people who have it worse off than we do, I use to do home health/hospice work. And that gives you plenty of occasions to see people who have it much more worse off than some of us do.

Oh yes, Luv. I should have added the board on my list. Everyone has made me feel so welcomed. Thank you!
