"I BELIEVE IN PINK! I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."— Audrey Hepburn

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Every night, friends. You have done what you could. Let it go.

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

Migraine Awareness Month



 So June is Migraine awareness month. I have added a hat to those I already wear. I am now a Migraine advocate in addition to a Breast Cancer advocate. Interesting, right? I really don't advocate for either of those things! I rather am a patient advocate for those that suffer from those afflictions. There, that sounds much better. As such, I was asked/told to put up a post on face book yesterday as part of a campain, "The pain behind the smile" So I was not keen to do this but... when called out about it, I did. First I found a suitable picture, and then the caption. I will replicate it here.


It is Migraine Awareness month...June 14th...is The Pain behind the smile....no smile here. But can you see it in my eyes?

 


So that was the post. I first posted it in the general population of my FB feed. Then I posted it to  the two Migraine groups that I belonged to. I could not believe the number of comments and reactions that I got on the general post. I mean, I kind of expected it from the members of the migraine groups, but I was surprised and tickled by the response of the other friends. So nice!

So that's it for today...

I am Back



It has been quite a while since I have posted a blog and so I have to say I am quite rusty! AS you might imagine a lot has happened since I last posted. Some good some bad. I will not go on at length as I do remember that shorter is better!

SO I can say that I have lost both of my parents since last here. Not together, actually two years apart. Very sad. 

Once Covid hit I was furloughed, and then my psition was eliminated uncerimoniously, by a phone call. Nice...So after a thirty some year career as an Embryologist and before that as a med tech. That was it...no severance.

Today as I went to fill out my weekly unemployment, I had no open action to fill out...so on this, I didn't even get notification, and so, it is on to social security and official retirement! Yippee!

Until Next time,
