A new friend I met

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I just wanted to share something with all of you. I belong to a

local freecycle group that gives away items they no longer use. It

keeps them out of the dumps and landfills. Anyway there was a

posting from a woman who lives a few miles from me that she was

giving away bamboo. I thought what a neat idea so I wrote and then

went to got it.

As we talked she told me she is 71 and then she went to say

something and completely lost her train of thought. She stopped and

said, " You'll have to forgive me, I have fibromyalgia. " We talked

for over three hours. She is remarkable at 71 and in so much pain

but still keeps an enourmous home and garden. It really was

inspirational to see someone her age with arthritis so bad and fms

and still functioning relativiely well. I came home and told my

husband and then I cried. Not because I was sad but because she was

such an inspiration. Even at her age she just keeps going and so we

all can too!

Warm hugs for a great day,

is

PS - I found another parttime job much closer to home so maybe this

one will be better. The owner is a friend of my son's and he said we

will do whatever it takes to make it work. I didnt tell him about

the FMS though.
