Didn't Go As Planned

Sooooo, my plan was to write something at least once a week. It's quite obvious that didn't happen. 

The thing with fibromyalgia is that it can be greatly affected by the weather. For me, the hotter it is, the better I feel. February in Iowa is the exact opposite. I spend a lot of the winter in bed enduring great pain. I have learned to zone out, and almost go into a trance-like meditative state to cope with the never ending pain. It is hard to do anything that requires brain power when I am like that.

Fibro fog is a term for the short term memory loss those of us with chronic pain must deal with. I can remember my favorite doll from my childhood, but ask me what I had for lunch yesterday and I am blank. So, truth be told.....I forgot about this blog. Just yesterday I thought to myself "I should start a blog again, but what would I call it? I know, the title will involve the three major things in my life: Faith, Family, and Fibro". Imagine my surprise when I logged in and found I had already started on with that title. :-/ 

My promise to myself is that I will most definitely write more often.....unless the "fog" takes over again.
