Winter passes into Spring

Monday, March 23, 2009

The first day of spring just passed, and I have endured the worst fibro flare up since this whole ordeal started. Maybe the lengthening of the days should be a positive sign, bringing more light into our lives and more hope?

I have never been a fan of spring. I know it is generally a beloved season, with the birth and renewal aspects. I am just not aligned to it or something. But I am trying to be positive, hopeful, and happy nonetheless.

Maybe this spring will be better? I have found SparkPeople and made SparkFriends on my SparkTeam, Fighting Fibromyalgia. :)

I hope to start gardening, and my plants do very much enjoy spring. If it's not my season, I can at least take joy in these things and the joy of people around me.

My husband has been wonderful to me throughout this flare up and well, everything. I do not think I could do this without him. And FALLUN, my best friend, being right there with me, understanding and sometimes hiding under a blanket with me as we both fight this thing.

Besides, I am slowly working on improving my life. That is certainly something to be pleased about.

Today I am beginning my SparkPeople journey.

It seemed just a thing to do to support my husband in his goal to lose weight and eat healthy -- if we were both doing it, it would be infinitely easier. But once I logged on and found some teams; it was a bit more... emotional. The Fighting Fibromyalgia group touched a nerve somewhere, in that there were people like me, trying to live their life with this... mess... impeding them and a maze of doctors and medicines and... I haven't really had a chance to connect with many people with the condition.

So I suddenly felt less lonely.

Perhaps this is a good thing. It certainly seems so. I am looking forward to this a lot more now.
