Maine weather makes you appreciate two days of good weather in a row, and we've had several great days (except for today). Friday was warm, sunny and dry and Saturday was as perfect as days ever get in Maine. We went to the coast (Camden) for the day and I was able to kayak for a few minutes (Camden harbor from a kayak is just beautiful!), had a wonderful crab roll for lunch and then played 9 holes of golf at Northport (my score is my age--just for 9 holes!). My husband is so wonderful about understanding my limitations and just encourages me to do what I can do.
I am a bit lame today, but the memories were worth it.
Today is cool and rainy, so I am achy, but happy because my daughter and granddaughter are here for an extended visit from Miami. Nothing a quick soak in the hot tub won't fix.
I have been writing every day and am excited at some of the opportunities that have come my way--looks like 3 of my poems are going to be published--two in fairly well-known magazines! I am working towards my goal of writing about my travels, but I have discovered that I really need some "clips" to be taken seriously as a travel writer. I write about everywhere I go and try to come up with a different take on things. Hubby and I are going to take a month-long trip next August to Wyoming/Montana area fishing and golfing--hopefully I can generate some interest (and money!) writing about the experience.
As far as my Fibro is concerned, I have found that gardening has helped me a lot this year. I cannot rake, but I can pull weeks like crazy and it helps stretch out my neck and shoulders. I just have to realize that I can't do it for hours on end; a little here and a little there. My flower beds are really lovely this year. Ooh, I just discovered I can add pictures!!!
I would love to hear from anyone interested in sharing their fibro/gardening/writing experiences--please feel free to comment!
Thanks for stopping by!
Linda
