Happy Mother's Day!

In the US, it's Mother's Day....and NO, Mother's Day is not everyday. This is especially true if you have Fibro. I was thinking about that last night as I was doing dishes at 8:00 pm. I was in pain, a lot of pain. I was crabby, yes, crabby. But this time, I felt "wrong" being crabby. In the past, I would grumble under my breath being crabby as could be for as long as possible and I thought I was "justified". 

In a sense, I was. After all, anyone else in that much pain would have stopped and left the sink full of dishes and  gone to bed. But I didn't/never did. 

What is my point? When you get a "grateful" and "thankful" attitude, you feel wrong complaining even when the pain is the worst. Reason being, you know how much worse things could be. At least, I could take a break, ask for help (not me!) or give up and the world wouldn't end. There are some people that don't have dishes to do, much less a sink with running water and bed to which they can head after the dishes are done. 

SO, on Mother's Day, be thankful that you can read this post because you have access to a computer, you have running water, a place to call "home" and kid(s) to wish you Happy Mother's Day. 

The more grateful you are, the less "comfortable" you'll feel complaining and the better you will feel about life, in general. 

Hey, I'm not pollyanna, but every day you have a choice - be better or bitter....

Choose better...

Happy Mother's Day to those of you who are mothers or act as mothers, grandmothers, etc. 

Enjoy a beautiful and better day because you know, in spite of the pain, how lucky you really are. 

Blessings,
