Why wear a ribbon?

MDJunction to me

"I am so happy to be a part of the MDJunction family! Where I used to be alone, I now have friends whom inspire me, comfort me, support me, and do not judge me. My new life began October 17, 2008. I weighed in with severe depression, social anxiety disorder and avoidant personality disorder. I was born with complications but I am fighting for my life and I will survive!!" (apieceofwork)

I think laughing at ourselves is what help keep us going.! My kids are forever teasing me about my fibro fog. And when I do forget something I laugh and say there's that stupid fibro fog again. Oh well !

I think that maybe because we hurt all the time that maybe we know what is important and laughing and being artistic helps us look at the brighter side of life, if it's true that stress helped cause this then maybe we look at life a little different then others and have learned that it doesn't help us too let fibro take over and make us lose another aspect of our lives. Anyway with me, laughing maybe the only thing that doesn't hurt. Ella, my 2 year old granddaughter says don't cry, be happy Wish we all could go back to that way of thinking all the time. But laughing and being creative takes us away for awhile, if we get involved in painting, gardening, writing, anything before we know it we have forgotten for alittle while that we hurt. ok maybe not totally but it does help.?

My husband gets such a kick out of this saying. He just laughs, but then it dosen't take much to crack him up.

You are so right Jean, I love getting into a project. I forget about everything. Thats why I enjoy scrapbooking and photography and writing. And I love reading books and listening to music. And as everyone knows I like to crack a joke now and then... But if this is where fibro has brought me I wouldn't want any different of a crowd to be around..

You are a sweetheart Kaze. I love reading , but the fog makes it very hard for me to concentrate on my book. Now it takes me forever just to get thru one page when I used to be able to read a book in one day!

I don't seem to have a problem with that, I can even watch a movie and read at the same time. What really gets me is the key board. I am always retyping because I type with the wrong hand at the wrong time. I can type pretty fast but I get my hands all tangled. Well something like that.....
