hey! i finally made it over! Can’t tell you how many times i’ve said “the problem with chronic pain is that it’s so chronic!” Yep, girl, you speak my language. Love your ideas too–i also have an issue with “organization or a lack thereof”… your tag made me laugh! i have an ever-mounting mountain of paperwork at my desk area, blecch. i’ll go check out some of the links you posted, so thanks for those.

i’m finally starting to see some results of my last year of work on my physical well-being at the gym. You know how slowly we fibromyalgics must start any such thing. It’s finally beginning to have an impact on my energy levels and i’m able to be more active than i was last February when i started. Of course, in the back of my mind is the thought: “but what if it’s a fluke and next week i’m back to Exhaustion City?” i’d imagine you know whereof i speak.

Grace IS essential, isn’t it?

Dear Sweet Nancy,
Everytime I read your blog I hope for improvement for you for your chronic illness. I have no words except to say that I am sorry that you are going through this. As your sister in Christ, I would take it away for you if I could. Much love to you and your family!
Love,
Jenn

Thanks, Chris. You’re always such an encouragement to me with your comments. Making visual progress around the house HAS been wonderful. I just keep reminding myself of how much better each little section is. Little things DO make a difference!

Wow, those first couple paragraphs could have come straight from my mind and house! So glad you’ve been able to get your office revived. That must feel good!

Pinterest has been popping up a lot lately. At first I just thought, uh oh, another internet “thing” to distract me. But I’m going to check out your links. You always inspire me!

Comment on Trying to Lose Weight? Skip the Corn Syrup by Rich

Neat post, Nancy. Did you know the corn lobby has recently tried to get the legal name of HFCS changed to “corn sugar”? Apparently to many people are learning the negatives of HFCS. If you can’t make a product you’re proud to sell, try misleading your customers with a name change. Seems like someone would spend a little time burning in hell for that ploy

Amen to that. Taking action is always better than sitting around dreading what needs to be done.

Oh my goodness … I could have written this post myself (but I didn’t because I couldn’t figure out the perfect way to say it! LOL). I once heard “nothing gets finished that doesn’t first get started”. I need that reminder!

I get it from my dad, who has been researching cordless phones for over 3 months now, to make the best purchase. In the meantime, they have to run to get the wall phone, which is way more work than just going out and buying one!

Anyway, try one box at a time. Or 15 minutes at a time. good luck!

Comment on Simplify in 2012 by Chris

How interesting you posted on this, because I chose “Simplify” as my word for 2012! Lots of physical stuff I hope to have the energy to clear out of the house, but more importantly I want to learn how to simplify life around me by setting priorities and also calming down the three ring circus running around in my brain. That was a great article you linked to.

Happy New Year Nancy!
