    • About Me

      When things go wrong as they sometimes will; When the road you're trudging seems all uphill; When the funds are low, and the debts are high And you want to smile, but have to sigh; When care is pressing you down a bit- Rest if you must, but do not quit. Success is failure turned inside out; The silver tint of the clouds of doubt; And you can never tell how close you are It may be near when it seems so far; So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit- It's when things go wrong that you must not quit.

    • Close Fibromyalgia

      I was dx'd three years ago but feel like I've had fibro most of my life. I was always tired and looking for places to sit down wherever I was. I haven't found anything over the counter or rx that has really helped significantly. I have found that gentle stretching has been most beneficial. I do it daily and often during the day. I feel like I know what the tin man must have felt like!!

    • Open Widows & Widowers

      My husband passed away in his sleep Aug 2007. It was expected/unexpected. He had been ill but had had a great day the day before. He had been unable to sleep in bed for quite some time, so he died on our couch. Found him not breathing when I woke up. I made the 911 call and sudennly there were a dozen paramedics, firemen and police in my living room trying to bring him back. I still have flashbacks when I hear sirens. I am thankful that he he looked very peaceful when I found him.
