I must be in the mood to share today. This whole week I've been a pent up mess, but today I feel so grateful. Here's my list:

-having the apartment to myself tonight
-the treadmill extravaganza
-texting with Alex and Holli and being connected to the great women @ the fun house (it's amazing what having friendships with other fibro sufferers will do. I feel like I can text them anytime about anything and I hope they feel the same about me. We've never even met in person but there's a kinship. An understanding. We can just be with one another. I dig that.)
-silence
-more library books to read
-reading new posts of my favorite bloggies
-Leah and the strength she exhibits and shares with us
-feeling and seeing that the light treatment seems to be working for the psoriasis

Have a sensational night friends. If I have learned anything in these days, months, years it is to FIND A SUPPORT GROUP. I never would have thought online relationships could be so meaningful. It really, really helps. And if you are newly diagnosed it's hell... I remember. Plug in, stay connected. 3 days without connecting with my online fibro family left me in a sour, defeated sort.

Goodnight.
