Hey, Troops! - Fibromyalgia Message Board

Hi Ya'll,

Just doin' a "drive by", and thought I'd stop by to say hello to all my old buddies, and all you new one's I haven't met, yet.

Life keeps me way too busy to spend much time on the boards anymore

. I'm finishing up the LAST (yahoo!) semester of homeschooling my special-needs daughter- yay! graduation!!!! plus she is holding 3 part time jobs and doesn't drive yet (HELLO Mom's Taxi Service). I've also been saddled (7 mo. ago) with caring for my bi-polar big sister, and alzhiemer's ma (85 yrs. young, and getting younger daily). We now have 2 horses, 2 cats, and a dog. OH! Did I forget Hubby in there? Bless his heart, he's been SUCH an

through all of this!

Needless to say, my plate is pretty full, and I'm ALWAYS running on empty. The good thing about it is, I'm in a constant fibro-flare, but I'm too darn busy to pay any attention to it! 6pm hits and I'm DEAD. A fire couldn't budge me. But, I'm getting alot more accomplished, getting PLENTY of exercise (just watching the pounds melt off!) and LOOKING pretty healthy again. My headspace is staying clear and focused, because it HAS to, and the depression has improved tremendously. So, I guess, having a life is a GOOD thing.

Well, gotta run again....I just wanted to catch up on a few reads and see how everyone is doing.

Take care, I miss spending time with everyone! hAPPY hEALING!

Hi Copper,
I was wondering where you were, sounds like you have a full life. how good of you to be there for all your family members, but as you said it is helping you through the flares because you are focused on other things.

Best of luck that you can stay focused and hope you can drop by now and again.

Hugs, LInda

Hi copper, your an inspiration to us all. Letting us know we can do whatever is put in front of us. And letting us know no matter how hectic we think life gets we can always do more.
