A horrible, no good, very crappy day.

But having a moment of clarity where my "old self" has made an appearance and I'm listening to music this AM, which I used to do all the time, in fact I used to perform before lyme & co. destroyed my personality and everything that made me, "me."

Very Best of Roberta Flack '91
Funny, I was too young to listen to her during her heyday, but she sure sounds good today… I think she still performs every now and then?

Also sorry you had a not so good day... I remember I was washing dishes (I was still living at home) and had the radio on when Roberta Flack's song came on "The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face"... golly, was I the romantic back then!!

Anyone ever hear this silly song by Paolo Conte? It's Wonderful...

Hey P, sorry your having one of the 'rough days'. We must be trading off...I had mine yesterday. Pushed myself too hard in yard the other day.. annnnd I paid for it of course. Youre not alone. Keep your head up and force distractions if you can is what I try to do because if not the infections LOVE to try and take over our thoughts so we can purge with getting ourselves so upset, and in turn they get their way and come out and play by lowering the immune system from getting our nerves all revved up and stressed. Thats how I personally see it anyway because when I get like that, I KNOW its not ME....I sure wasnt like this pre-lyme!


But....what a BEAUTIFUL SONG!! I have heard some Roberta Flack before but never heard that particular song. It gave me chills at one point! You know a song is good when it does that ;-)

Gosh I LOVVVE MUSIC. Its def my airplane! There is always a song out there for every way youre feeling and can always help shift your moods IMO. Pandora Fleetwood Mac is my go-to calming station :-))

I hope tomorrow is a better day for you..

~Courtney~

Denise… what a great song AND video. Love the video. Will enjoy it again before I disappear into my familiar dark corner…

So cool that she still tours, MM. It kind of makes me exhausted to think about of course.

thanks Courtney. I envy people who listen to music regularly. I think Girlie mentioned she likes to. I stopped listening awhile back because every time I did I would have no reaction or I would become agitated and it scared me. Felt like I was destroying something I used to value so much. So I'll be grateful that today, it made me feel good.

darn, crazy bugs. ;)

I'm sorry you had a bad day P! I know those days where nothing goes well and I just want to hide.

I love music. I have not been listening as much due to headaches, but I enjoy it. That's cool that you used to perform. :)

I hope things have calmed down. I can relate to not feeling like yourself. It's awful. I miss laughing. I used to laugh a lot more! I feel like Lyme has stolen my personality. It's a thief. But, we're going to get ourselves back! We WILL! Hang in there. We're here for you.
