Got Faith?

The title of my blog mentions Faith....and it leads you to believe that I am a faith-filled person. 


I am. 


But I wasn't always full of hope and happiness. Oh no! 


As a matter of fact, I was downright negative and miserable. I had more self-pity, sadness, depression and despair than anyone I had ever known. 


Today, I am actually going to make a very strange statement....and many of you will question my sanity after reading what follows:


I am happy that I developed Fibro. 


Silly, you think. Right? 


Crazy? Well, we're all a bit weird and strange, so, if you choose to think that, fine with me. 


But I couldn't be happier, more hope-filled, more enthusiastic and joyful. I don't think I have ever felt as "stable" in my life. 


As a matter of fact, to add to the woes of my being on disability for about 12 years now and finding it hard to make ends meet, my husband just (in February of this year) was laid off from his 25+ year career. 


In light of that, I should be filled with fear, worry, and anxiety, right? 


I am not. I am happy and remain filled with hope for the future. I can't wait until tomorrow! 


What am I doing tomorrow? Nothing special, just living. This includes some exercise, housework, reading, etc. But I am not doing anything "exciting"....just living. 


But life has taken on a whole new meaning...and it's not because I've won the lotto or inherited a fortune, but because I discovered something that had been available to me all this time, throughout my entire life and I never took advantage of it before......


But now, I've got it.....and I'd love to share how and why this new found "thing" has made my life worth living again......


More to follow tomorrow...


For now, have a peaceful and joyful evening. 


Blessings
