TODAY’S JOURNEY// I spent the morning staring at the fire, trying to ignore the searing pain between my shoulder blades. It was peaceful, and as calm as fire pondering can be with fibro pain after yesterday’s Food Lands presentation to the county commissioners. Self care and down time for recovery is so vital.

Finally, I shot up off the sofa and said, “Move! Just do this one thing.” I needed #fringehours to care for myself through service and I needed to gently move my body so I don’t turn all noodly. Know what I mean?
