We have them. Fibro is bad enough without having the other "things" in your life crumble around you.
As I've mentioned, my spouse is unemployed. He has a "part-time" job offer, but the money earned by that, will be taken away by unemployment. He mentioned to me that we are only have a "certain amount" left of unemployment left. Although he has money saved and a small severance package, it won't last us forever.
I also read a very "disturbing" article about Social Security disability today. I won't get into it yet. There's no reason. With our government being what it is, who knows what is true in the media and what isn't.
I heard from a friend who is "suddenly" panicking about being unemployed and is reworking yet another copy of her resume.
I started to feel my stomach turn.
It happens to be a beautiful day outside.
I got my walking gear on. I went out to the track for an hour. I listened to my motivational tapes.
I realized that I didn't spend time with God this morning. I was feeling far away from him.
I also realized that I'm not, once again, telling him what I need, what my problems are.
I need to do that.
I need to do more with regard to my faith. It always helps me to be very involved in my faith. But mainly to get to where I know God is with me and I have nothing to fear.
I can "feel" fear, but I don't have to let it stop me from doing what I need to do. As St. Paul says in Phillipians, "I have learned how to be content whether in lack or abundance....I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me".
Do not give up on those really bad days, my Fibro friends. Please, just stop and pray to God, read your bible, meditate on what you read.
There is always hope and tomorrow will be a better day. Pray, do not give up.
Blessings.....
Mo M.
