Lake Michigan, USA.<\/p>\n
My view from the hotel where my husband is in meetings all week.<\/p>\n
This particular block of time in my life is one of a seemingly never-ending time of a major<\/u> Fibromyalgia Flare.<\/p>\n
I am listening to instrumental hymns and currently “Higher Ground” is playing.<\/p>\n
Do you know the hymn?<\/p>\n
I am resting and watching the sail boats on the water, but the 3 day long migraine which has all my joints effected, is trying to distract me from enjoying the view.<\/p>\n
Do flares ever come at a good time??<\/p>\n
I admit that trying to lift my own self up when my body has betrayed me is terribly difficult to do. I feel very alone at these times. It is hard to be one’s own cheerleader and encourager when you feel like something the cat dragged home.<\/p>\n
It is at these times that I feel God is closest to me.<\/p>\n
When all I want is an understanding ear;\u00a0a sympathetic ear, and maybe a Kleenex or two, plus time to get through this, it is God I turn to.<\/p>\n
Today I had to be no where, no one was depending on me to cook or clean. I was free to enjoy the day however I chose.<\/p>\n
This flare chose how I would spend this day for me. Even on more Ibuprofen than I’ve ever had to take in succession, I still feel all the pain radiate through my very core.<\/p>\n
This flare will leave at any time, but for now, I must look to “higher ground.”<\/p>\n
He will get me through it. He always does.<\/p>\n
So whether on a trip to some place other than home or just another day at home, I pray you get through the flare when it strikes.<\/p>\n
God bless your day of pain.<\/p>\n
