The Spoon Theory

For the ones I love and that love me back....
I know before I open my eyes each day how many spoons I have and I try very hard not to waste a single one of them.
I have never been very good at explaining how I feel, not even to myself and certainly not to anyone else. I am posting this here because of all the things I have ever read this comes the closest to explaining what my life feels like. What it feels like to be sick.
I live on an ENERGY ECONOMY - Energy Needed, Energy Saved and Energy Used. It is a lot like money only it is energy. Aside from the Energy Economy I also have to deal with chronic pain that NEVER goes away. My pain may be to varying degrees but it NEVER EVER goes away.
I cried when I read this and I think it is important not just for those of us that live with Chronic Disorders but especially for those that love us. I always save my energy for those I love most. This cost me in terms of a social life but I have to set my priorities. Just know that if you are my friend and I share my time with you, I have given you something very valuable for I have given you at least one of my spoons. To all those I love and those who love me, thank you for understanding me.......

GOT SPOONS?
My distraction from being sick
I think I love to craft and create pretty things because it is a distraction from my pain and from feeling sick. So this weekend my beautiful Tiffany and I made some Rose and Leaves Sugar Cubes.
Pretty Sugar Cubes
This is a very easy to do project and as you can see the results are so sweet...
What You Need
1/2 Sugar
1 Drop of Food Coloring
1 Tablespoon of Water
Mix everything together until well blended.
Place in your molds for approx. 10 hours.
Carefully remove from molds and place on a plate
right side up to finish drying.
You now have beautiful Sugar Cubes for
your coffee, tea or dessert decoration.
