Each Day Already is a Challenge
A Texas Sunrise
 
A friend, William Taylor, took this picture. He visits Surfside Beach with his dogs almost every morning, watching the sun rise while the dogs prance about at the water's edge.
This is only about ten miles from where I lived in Lake Jackson, Texas. Sadly, I only visited this beach about four times in the six years I lived nearby.
Each day is a challenge. A challenge to get by without thinking about the fibromyalgia pains. A challenge to stay awake when chronic fatigure wants to take over. And a challenge to navigate through fibro fog.
I haven't been writing as much as in the past. For years, I wrote at least 500 words a day. Now, I'm lucky if I write 500 words in month. Sigh.
For more information about what my day (or life) is all about with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, chronic pains, IBS, depression and everything else thrown in, check this out:

I know you've been eager to see pictures of our two cats. 
Here's Opera with her face in the food bowl. That's her usual position.
This shot shows her face. 
And here's one of Piewacket, being the serious cat. 
Having to get up early to pick up my son at work has its merits. I get to see the sun come up, and in nice weather, that's not such a bad thing. Speaking of nice weather...it was 57 degrees when I got up this morning. Another strange Cincinnati weather day, I guess. The temperature will neither go up nor down today, or so the weather folks say.
Just a few weeks ago it looked like this:  That's hubby - Incurable Romantic   and his daughter Tiff. I think he had his back turned so he could avoid being hit by a snowball. (But he'd probably say he was making a snowball of his own.  )
Today the birds are really getting ready for that first big Spring concert. As I sat on the porch, I heard six distinctive bird songs. I don't know which birds belonged to which song, but I did hear six different songs. Yippeeee! Next we'll be seeing some of God's beautiful Spring colors. And I cannot wait!
A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby, excitedly discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse.
"But why?," they asked, as they moved on.
"Because," he said, "I can't stand watching chess nuts boasting in an open foyer...."
