Oh and great for Brangelina making the topic of breast cancer big news but too bad most in the US cant afford the $3000 for the blood test let alone the surgery to remove and then reconstruct the breasts.

tranquil garden and latest pet peeve
Hubby has been working so hard on a great garden oasis for me:)
and my biggest pet peeve.....movie actors and singers/performers wearing dresses that reveal more than they cover.It just looks trashy!

pets are family
As you may know we have 3 dogs and 3 cats,all are rescues from shelters and the street.
Today I heared the neighbor talking about how their dog was driving them crazy and they have to find another home for him asap.I was upset at this cavalier attitude to a pet they took responsibility for but I kept quiet.But then this evening I see a friend's post on Facebook that they know of a dog that needs a home otherwise it will be put down,today!Then to make matters worse I read that it's only 18 months old!!!!
Animals are living beings people!They are not disposable and they are not traded in because you decide to have kids.Yes they require work but in return they give you a trust and love that is priceless!

Time to reflect
Hardly any sleep last night,no idea why.
Funny though i feel calm today.Im one of the lucky ones,fibro has taken so much from me but the things it has taught me have been amazing too.My marriage has proven strong and i have learned to listen to my body and enjoy the moment.
Yes i suffer from depression but that also intensifies the moments of joy.My furbabies give me warmth and comfort,they dont care if i can walk or not or if i look like crap.I have a relatively calm and beautiful home so i can feel safe there.
The internet has connected me to many wonderful people,fibromites,crafters,pet lovers.
My pain has set me limits ,my exhaustion has slowed me down but in a way i feel it has revealed my soul , fragile and yet still glowing.My husband and i both try to do good deeds for others,i feel we have spread mainly positive energy .i am at peace.It may only last a moment but those moments can be strung together like a pearl necklace .
Hugzzzz.....Michelle.

Tranquility
Since struggling with fibro keeping my physical and spiritual life balanced has been my struggle.I pace my activities and think and meditate on things a lot.Im not religious per say but im attracted to the calm and respect in Buddhism.My days are a balancing act between the things i have to do like keeping the house clean and the things i like to do,sew read and cuddle my furbabies.This year im doing pretty well so far.Lily is settling in nicely and likes to sleep on her bed beside me and i hear her sighs and dreams.Smudge and Gismo give lots of hugs and generate lots of smiles.

I received a kindle fire as a gift and also 2 pieces of fabric from Bali.Hubby has found me a lovely sewing basket to sit next to my antique singer so i can sew downstairs.

Sorry
I want to say sorry i havnt been around.Those of you with fibromyalgia will know that a canadian winter is not the best time for a fibromite.Increased pain and even more limited mobility.
Losing my sister also has affected me hard.I wake up from dream conversations with her and rants at my father (another issue).
I have sewing and crafting plans in my head but just keeping the house reasonably clean takes all my strength and energy these days.The new power cable and belt for the vintage sewing machine worked great and hubby managed to find me some 1950's lutterloh patterns online.Yet another thing to take up my time as you have to draft the patterns lol.
Anyway i just wanted to let you know i havnt abandoned my blog.I just have to really pace my mental and physical activities right now.Hopefully winter wont last too long and ill be feelig a little better soon...Hugzzz to all my online friends and their blogs,you keep me going and the creative juices flowing :)
