Rain Part 2

So here it is, Sunday afternoon after observing Daylight Savings Time and we are expecting another round of storms. Not just regular thunderstorms but ones that carry with them a possibility of tornadoes. It is just spectacular to me how Indiana changes within minutes. One moment it will be nice and sunny. The next will bring terror into your heart or snow on the ground. In fact, it wasn't that long ago I was writing about snow being on the ground here. There are times like today when I long for a happy medium with little weather changes so that my joints will not be so affected. I know tonight is shot night and I expect to have some difficulty with the weather changing but this is all starting to be too much. I hope that at some point the acupuncture I'm going to try on the 18th will give me some relief. I know that Fibro is something I will most likely have for the rest of my days, but I will not let it slow me down anymore than it already has. I feel the same about my joints as well. I have lost a few joints in this war against Psoriatic Arthritis, yet I'm confident that I will win many battles before all is said and done. I don't know why but I just feel supremely positive today. Maybe it's because I know that with the warmer weather I may be able to do a little more than usual. Or maybe it's just because I've been working hard to accept who I am, flaws and faults and all. Over the past week, I've been bomarded with loving compliments and encouragement. I honestly don't know how to take them. I say thank you and am appreciative of them. Yet I feel guilty for having them said to me. I'm not sure why. I know that it's something I need to work on though.

Today I'm going to work more on the Mother's Day surprise I have planned. If I'm able, I'm going to work on the cross stitch project some. I haven't really been working on it like I want to because of one thing or another. I have been able to make some progress with the third LOTR book. As it stands, I'm right smack dab in the middle of the book. It amazes me how much wasn't in the movies and yet how much the movies were able to show even if they were super long. I love the extended versions because there are scenes included that I missed seeing after having read the books. Same with the Harry Potter books. I love that the movies are following as close to the books as possible. I can't imagine just how dark the next couple of films are going to be since there's so much darkness in the books. I know that the last book is going to be a doozy. As far as my own writing, I'm stuck. I tried to write last night and nothing came to mind. I hate it when that happens to me because I usually try to focus and get frustrated when nothing comes out. I think my muse decided to play an April Fools joke on me last night and run away for awhile. Hopefully a little later, I can get a few more pages done in the finished Novel. I still have no clue what the title is going to be. The story's written, just has no name.

For all my friends out there who are hurting and sick, I've got ya in my thoughts. Hang in there because it will get a little easier as the minutes pass. I hope everyone out there is having a good day. Remember to smile for you are loved, even by just one person.

Love and blessings,
Kim
