Being positive can be a moment by moment task.<\/p>\n<p>I have <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/fibromyalgia\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20354780\">Fibromyalgia<\/a>. It is an on-going, never-ending battle of daily pain.<\/p>\n<p>Things I do today will cause a delayed pain response which can take up to two days for my body to react to. I have kept journals for eating, what I do each day, the weather, and where I&#8217;ve gone. I have kept these journals for over two years now trying to figure out what my &#8220;triggers&#8221; are.<\/p>\n<p>I have not found one thing I do that does <i>not<\/i> cause me pain (which basically means <i>everything<\/i> I do will cause me pain).<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently, I am limited to what I do, knowing how much pain I will be in.<\/p>\n<p>(Try finding a blessing in that!!)<\/p>\n<p>For example, I know that grocery shopping will wipe me out within two days, so I plan to shop on a day when I have no commitments up to two days later.<\/p>\n<p>The blessing is in the planning!<\/p>\n<h3>I have learned to pace myself throughout each day.<\/h3>\n<p>As a homeschooling Momma I know that sometimes pacing does not work. I have various personalities, hormone levels and unexpected &#8220;life&#8221; occurances which alter the pacing strategy I try to implement each day. But I do manage to maintain some level of pacing as often as possible and it does make a difference.<\/p>\n<h3>Watching for those daily blessings helps keep me going.<\/h3>\n<p>I find enjoyment in my children! I have some who make me laugh continuously throughout the day. That is a blessing!<\/p>\n<p>Lighting candles brings me peace, so I try to have one burning daily. Another blessing!<\/p>\n<p>I also have found that no matter when I wake up each day, it will be a struggle. So, I try to get up before anyone else so I can enjoy some Momma quiet-time before the hustle and bustle of the day drags me along into the fast-paced current of responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>This means <i>a lot earlier <\/i>because it takes me so long to get going, but I find that to be a blessing and worth it. During those early morning moments of reading my Bible and using my planner book (which is especially helpful with Fibro-fog) and it gives me an opportunity to focus on me and God, which in turn helps me handle to pain better, which also is a blessing.<\/p>\n<h3>Handling the pain better means handling the children better.<\/h3>\n<p>When you are in pain, it can make you short and curt. Leaning on God helps with that.<\/p>\n<p>Each season brings blessings. I for one am looking forward to autumn. It is my favorite time of the year and I plan to find numerous blessings in each autumn day!<\/p>\n<p>Yes, the uncertainty of the rainy weather in the fall wreaks havoc on Fibromyalgia pain.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, the cooler weather brings on more achy joints and migraines.<\/p>\n<p>But if you take a look around you and see the beauty of God&#8217;s world being transformed in an array of autumn hues, that is a blessing in itself!<\/p>\n<p>Look for those blessings each day. You will find them!<\/p>\n<p>Happy last day of summer!<\/p>\n<p>Hurray for autumn!<\/p>\n<p>~The Fibro Momma of ten~<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"590\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/thefibro-lupusbutterfly.com\/?attachment_id=590\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/thefibro-lupusbutterfly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/cropped-20161113_074116-2.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1920,640\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"cropped-20161113_074116-2.jpg\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/thefibro-lupusbutterfly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/cropped-20161113_074116-2-960x320.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-590 alignnone size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/thepersistentbutterfly.apps-1and1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/cropped-20161113_074116-2.jpg\" width=\"1920\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefibro-lupusbutterfly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/cropped-20161113_074116-2.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/thefibro-lupusbutterfly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/cropped-20161113_074116-2-595x198.jpg 595w, https:\/\/thefibro-lupusbutterfly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/cropped-20161113_074116-2-768x256.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thefibro-lupusbutterfly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/cropped-20161113_074116-2-960x320.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As summer comes to an end, I am reminded of the blessings life has to offer.
