Smile for the day :) - Fibromyalgia Message Board

Although I'm new here I'd like to throw an idea up for thought.... how about a smile for the day? I know that a lot of us are in pain all the time, some a lot more than others and that this can really get you down. I was just thinking that perhaps just a line from anyone each day about something that made us laugh might help lighten things? I know it's hard to smile at times but you just gotta keep on going. if nowt else just 3 smiles a day will count towards your exercise ! anyway i'll be posting my smile for the day on here, so please join me.....

hi poppy,
if i had to quit smiling i would go thru withdrawal. it is my sense of humor about myself that keeps me lauging every day. of course the neighbors know me now and are positive i am a nut. giggle. a good nut.
you have my smile today and every day. here is my good laugh for this morning. how about standing up without using the ole t.p. first, remembering as the warm drips fall, busting out in laughter only to find i had to sit down again fast.
now that's funny fibro fog!
peace and giggles,
blue

Ya know, just comming here to read and feel so welcome would make anyone smile, but especially when we are in an extra hard spot, there's always someone bringing a smattering of joy into your moment. We cheer each other on, we help each other learn, we console one another, and we help each other overcome the fear. I smile EVERY time I come here.

ok the fog has kicked in ! forgot my fiance had cleaned my car seats for me this morning, yeah you can guess, soaking wet seats..... pity i didnt remember before i set for the shops... got some strange looks as i walked round the supermarket..... didn't realise til i got back and saw the back of my jeans.... just glad the neighbours didnt see after my lil swimming mishap the other day ! i'm not so sure they'd be convinced it wasn't my fault !

Heres where my smile came from. I was getting ready to walk, i usually take our little fat dog when i walk but didnt want to leave her tied in the sun today because i knew i would be at the library. I let all three dogs out to go potty and when i went to let them back in, Roxie the little fat dog wouldnt budge. She was like, oh no, your not going without me ! She was just laying under my Jeep with the most pitiful face on and it did give me a chuckle, so i let the other two dogs back out and let them walk me to the mailbox, that threw her off and all three ran back into the house, bet she is not happy with me today. Hopefully she will get her walk in a little bit
