I've been skimming blogs this morning; blogs from people who have this "dis-ease" called fibro. Believe me, I am not trying to make light of their pain--I, too, deal with it almost every day, in some form or another. But I choose to look at the positive effects of Fibro. Positive effects!? you retort. Yes.
If I did not have fibro, I know that my priorities in life would be totally messed up. I would be working 50 hours a week, stressed to the max, grabbing fast food on the run, not exercising, and quicking running myself to a ragged frazzle. Fibro has forced me to learn about the intricacies of my body; to recognize when I need a nap, a cold glass of water, to stretch, to stop and pray and to think about what it most important in my life. It has shown me the strength of my marriage, my inner strength, God's power and who are my true friends.
My pain level today is a 5; I'm tired, but I have to run some errands. When I get home, I will snuggle under my electric blanket with a book and most likely doze off. I'm grateful that my pain level is not higher.
ALWAYS look for the positive.
"Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 1Cor.6:19
