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:

Actually, where did Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday go???? Is it really a sign of getting old when the week just flies by??????
Someone commented that I had not shared any cool links lately. So here you go.
An old Florida buddy shared this one today.

Just click on your state, then your county and you can see some old picture postcards. Pretty cool.
For instance, I've said (a few times) that I used to live in Belleair, Florida in the same community as Hulk Hogan.  This link shows an old postcard of the old Belleview Biltmore Hotel in Belleair. It's really, really old. Back when Florida was nothing but orange groves, this hotel sat in the middle of nowhere. Rich folks came by train to stay there and to play golf. (Golfers usually know this one.)

Anyway, when I lived in Belleair, my house was a half a block from the golf course. My son's dad used to walk the dogs there. I think they had the golf course rigged so that if anyone walked on it at night, the sprinklers came on. It didn't matter what time he chose to walk there, he always came back soaked. He never did learn...
This picture is from before there were houses near the hotel or golf course. But the development was a good one. The street lights all look like the old gas lights. There are trees planted in the medians (mostly pines or palm trees). The community was great about keeping green space.
