Thank you everyone for feedback and sharing, much appreciated.

Debbie, I agree, I believe being able to redirect our focus, to shift gears and activity, all great tools in our self care tool-kit.

On the theme of -feeling good-, I've been thinking on how, for me, developing the ability to if nothing else, to -feel different-, is a great step. For instance, after I take a walk and enjoy the spring flowers, the music I am listening to.......I may still not feel fantastic, *but* something has shifted round for me, I feel different, inspired. Energy is moving.

And I am grateful for that even. Sure, I may still have various uncomfortable and even painful symptoms, but I've changed my perspective and thrown open a window to allow the world to dance with me once again.

(Not even sure what that last sentence quite means, but I understand it somehow, will leave it alone. I figure Sunday mornings we get permission. *Grin*)
