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:

Booker T Washington quotes:
If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.
No man, who continues to add something to the material, intellectual and moral well-being of the place in which he lives, is left long without proper reward.
You get the best out of others when you give the best of yourself. ~ Harvey S. Firestone
Give what you have to somebody, it may be better than you think. ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not. ~ Thomas Jefferson
God has given us two hands, one to receive with and the other to give with. ~ Billy Graham
Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both. ~ Benjamin Franklin
You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving. ~ Robert Louis Stevenson
Love grows by giving. The love we give away is the only love we keep. The only way to retain love is to give it away. ~ Elbert Hubbard
Luke 6:38 NIV ~ Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. |

What city was that? Did you hear? A woman died on the emergency room floor? Her family couldn't get her help there, so they called 9-1-1. They wouldn't or couldn't offer help since she was already at the hospital. A stranger in the hospitall also called 9-1-1 and got the same response. How could that happen???
My sermon will be delivered at church on July 15. That gives me a bit of time to prepare. 
Did you see Dr. Phil today? Some gypsy scammers in Houston set up a toll free number pretending to be the Dr. Phil show. People actully wired money via Western Union to buy time to talk to Dr. Phil and/or his wife. How sad. They were paying $350 and more.
The story and investigation continues tomorrow on the show.
Hey, TexansBeatTheMiamiDolphinsBy3   . The calls were being answered at a psychic's location. Y'all do have quite a few of them (plus topless clubs) along the main streets and highways in Houston, don't you? Sounds like a great place for a prayer walk.
Found a few more quotations I like:
If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else. - Booker T. Washington
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not. - Thomas Jefferson
I wonder why we quote some things from Thomas Jefferson and not others. Like thinking that his phrase "separation of church and state" is in the official government documents...when it was really in one of Jefferson's personal letters.
Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both. - Benjamin Franklin
Oh my.
You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving. -
Robert Louis Stevenson
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. - Luke 6:38 NIV
