Hey cjay,
I just want to give courage to people who feel like giving up in the face of adversity!
A chronic illness, as devastating as it is, is NOT the end of the world, but the beginning of a new phase in life!
I've been on the 'dark' side during my worst moments of my illness, but you must have the strength to survive it and carry on...
This is where Art comes in for me...
And hey, "chores" are for regular people... hehehehe Why do today what you can do tomorrow, right? LOL
Keep scrapping and I hope to hear from you soon!
Hugs & Smiles |

Hey Chrys
I am also a Fibro sufferer having been finally diagnosed formerly only about 7 years ago. So I hear where you're coming from. I hadn't actually given any thought to my passion for scrapbooking being therapeutic for fibro but you're right. When I'm in the throes of inspiration, I forget about everything else, including the pain. So thanks for reminding me that I'm doing something good for myself when I'm scrapping instead of just indulging in my inspirations and avoiding my chores. ;-) |

Thank you for writing to me!
I just can't imagine having a second illness on top of Fibro! How do you do it?!?!
Yes, there are times I want to scream & cry (and I do!), but I try to live with it and do my best to get over the episodes...
Sometimes I think the medications are worse than the illness. I've tried so many of them, I feel like a guinea pig!!!
Please keep in touch and I let me know how you're doing from time to time!
Hugs & Smiles |
