Hello, and happy Halloween to those of you who celebrate!
Well, I had a pretty great week all things considering. I am back on the right track with the right dose of iron therapy, and I am beginning to feel better.

This past Sunday, I went to a farewell party for a friend who was part of a local radio show called the First Shift Show on our local radio station. It was a great time with light snacks, drinks, pizza, and gumbo, which was thrown by a very gracious host. There was live music there as well. I even did a few minutes of slow and easy dancing, and I must say, it felt pretty good after not doing it for so long. Before I came down with CFS, I was always one of the first girls on the floor at a wedding, attempting to drag everybody else out there to join us. Oh, how I have missed that! I couldn’t dance much of course, but the little bit I did landed me in bed the next day. I knew it would. However, as I told one of the other guests, too bad. It’s been way too long since I have enjoyed myself that much. So what if I paid the price and so what if it was from doing a little dancing? Either way, no matter what I do, the same thing happens to me, so I might as well have gone for it. I’m not sorry. I would rather have the fond memory than have been at home feeling sorry for myself and wishing I would have tried to go but didn’t. Sure, I’m suffering, but I would be anyway. I made the best of it instead.

It’s like I have said before, you have to enjoy your life when you can. It isn’t possible for us to do that every day, and
curling up in a little ball in bed or on the couch is not always the answer. Being with nice people can be the best medicine.

In addition to working on an educational presentation again in the coming weeks, I have decided to change the day of this blog to Tuesday. I have been doing some research on this, and apparently, people are most likely to read them on Tuesdays at around 9:00 A.M. and around noon.

Well, that’s about all that is on my little brain this week. Have a wonderful day, and I will be back on Tuesday! Take care, everybody.

Love & Hugs,
Beckie
