Sometimes you have to just have fun!

Hello fellow fibro's as we all know our lives get into the grit by not being able to do what we used to or no energy, just plain hurt from head to toe! Well, my 20 year old son says to me mom's I have to get you out and about! He tells me to get dressed and put my make up on and the whole time I am complaining I don't want to move, where are you taking me? Well we end up at our friends barn that is decorated very festive and there is a line up of bands that I really like and then... there is a couch to the side that he had put there for me to be able to sit and watch and listen. It was amazing and so thoughtful of him. It was definately a make momma proud moment but, it really ended up being so fun and I actually got up and danced a little and it felt good to be out and around people that care about you. It was totally worth getting me out of my pj's :)

That's awesome!!! Reading your post brought tears of joy to my eyes. I am so happy that your son did that for you. And, you actually enjoyed it.

Sometimes we have to Just Do It (and not let the pain hold us back).

Thank you for reminding me!!!!

Yes great reminder to have fun! And a lovely story. For me I used to mostly have fun through hiking and outdoor activities that I'm in too much pain and fatigue to do now. But I have found it important to still have fun, which has been through TV, movies, board + electronic games, books, and other things when I have the mental energy. Doing anything that feels fun is very helpful!
