Dear Family and Friends…

I saw this video by FibroTV.

Two things happened:

1. I wanted to share it (even though it’s a bit soppy; and
2. I want to make my own.

Firstly, I need to learn how to make a video (so far all attempts have not been worthy of even a viewing, but Hey! I only just learnt how to put a video into my post) and so do YOU! …I’m thinking a Fibromyalgia Awareness Day video competition…

What do you think? More details to follow when I’ve thought this through a little more.

UPDATE:

The competition is now open with a great Fibro Fighter prize package. Click HERE for details on how to enter. All entries (when there are some) will be available HERE.

God Made Everything out of Nothing, But the Nothingness Shows Through.

- Paul Valery

Today, I have nothing (at least, so far).

I am seriously dedicated to maintaining this blog regularly but, today my brain is empty – maybe no thoughts can get through when it is surrounded by pain. This is Day 2 of feeling particularly delicate so I’m sitting in my cave, hoping to feel more robust later (as I have something I really want to do), trying to stretch out my aching body parts (a warm water swim would be great about now!), with cooling gel strips stuck to my cheeks, in the dark.

Anyway, after that little non-funded advertisement, I still am empty of any coherent thought that I think might be stimulating and I don’t seem to have any inspiring little quotes or funny self- deprecating cartoons hanging around, so I shall close the laptop, take some medication and, hopefully, go to sleep.

It will all be better when I wake up!
