Some days are easier than others. I have dealt with Fibromyalgia and Lupus for over a decade and pretty much know what affects me. Some days, though, are a beast!<\/p>\n<p>During the past decade, I graduated 5 more kiddos from our homeschool as well as shuffled our family back and forth to many a music venue. I have seen my boys become men and three daughters become wives. The past decade has been unbelievable with pain as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/thefibro-lupusbutterfly.com\/?p=1396\">many challenges<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, I am having a proud Momma moment. See, I have sons serving in the military and I listen to their stories when they call me-both triumphant and sorrowful. Today is a grand day! One son is fulfilling his childhood dreams today. This makes all my pain seem to dim a bit in the reality of his happiness!\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Pain is a funny thing. When we dwell on our pain, life seems bleak. When we have something else to place our attentions on, it helps so much!!!<\/h3>\n<p>To see his smiling face in the photo he sent me will forever be branded in my mind. Today I feel like I am a blessed Momma. Not all days makes me feel that way. It is true. I am only human&#8230; I have ups and downs same as anyone else. Most days, I am my own cheerleader. Today I am cheering for my son!<\/p>\n<h2>Let&#8217;s take each little victory as it comes!!<\/h2>\n<p>If you suffer from Fibromyalgia and\/or Lupus, pain will be your constant companion. I hope in your neck of the woods you can find something to think upon to help your pain wan a bit. Ask the Lord to help you focus on someone or something else and see how that helps you. Even if it&#8217;s only for five minutes, that is an achievement and time not dwelling on how you feel.
