Thankfulness...

Okay, okay...when you suffer from a chronic condition, like FMS, you must learn to set limitations for yourself alot of times. I admit I have trouble with this. Like in the instance of going to get groceries and then coming home to vacuum the WHOLE house, using the hose extension, for the most part. So, I'm over the flu but incredibly sore and stiff from all the 'over doing'. I can't win, it seems, but still I am so blessed! It could be worse...much worse. I'm thankful for the 'good' that God allows me to have. And I am becoming more and more appreciative of the little things. Things that most people (including myself here) take for granted. Gosh, if I can ride in a car for any length of time, go shopping, go sightseeing, clean house, lay flat on my back, sit or stand for extended times or even go for a walk...if I can do any of these and have just a minimal amount of pain...then I've had a GOOD day! Isn't that just crazy?? It is crazy...but it's the craziness I live with every day. Just about everything we do in my house, is planned around my FMS. We don't make long term plans because we never know how I will feel, or what shape I'll be in, at a certain time. Is it sad?...yes. Do I question it?...no. Is it fair?...probably. I do know that there is a reason for everything and God has a plan for all of us. I trust Him to lead me where He thinks I should be. Right now, that just happens to be sitting here, typing this post, while dealing with FMS. I am what I am and it is what it is, but I'm thankful for it all. Til next time...blessings!
