Today is the first day of January...the first day of the new year, 2010. It is the first day of a new decade, if you will. For those of you who make new year resolutions, today would mark the first day of the start of those resolutions. I don't 'do' resolutions. My philosophy is "don't make'm...can't break'm"! In the past, I don't remember ever keeping a resolution and seeing it through. Maybe I'm weak. (actually, I think my will power meter is BROKEN!) Maybe I'm not traditional in my thinking or maybe I just don't get caught up in all the hype of a NEW year. However...this year could be an exception.
I have loved this blog from the very first key that I typed...now, almost a year ago. I admit, I got sidetracked with life's little inconveniences over the past 2 months. Well, some were small...others appeared huge, at the time...but, whatever the size of the stepping stones, they've led me back here. It all started as a suggestion that came from one of my physicians. He recommended daily journaling as a way of coping with living with FMS. He meant for me to write in a diary or journal, quietly away from the world. And I did. For a few months, anyway. That was before I discovered that I didn't want to sulk, pout, hurt, ache or feel REALLY GOOD, quietly. I wanted to try living out loud, or at least, in the hopes of my words reaching, maybe someone else, who might be experiencing the same pain...that invisible kind. Because that's what Fibromyalgia is...invisible! To the average person, I look well and healthy. You cannot see my illness. But, believe me...it's there. I live with the pain and fatigue every , single day.
I'm back to blog again...maybe not every day but certainly much more often than I have been. It's not my new year's resolution. It's a promise I've made to myself to help my body and my mind cope in an uncertain time...with that being said, I'd like to make a toast...(lifting my glass of coca cola)...May this new year...the first day of a new decade, hold many special blessings in our lives and may we find much joy in every day! Happy New Year!!
