 |  Fibro fog, pain, writing sandwiched in between. Quotes. Sermon notes. Encouragement. |
A Texas Sunrise A friend, William Taylor, took this picture. He visits Surfside Beach with his dogs almost every morning, watching the sun rise while the dogs prance about at the water's edge. This is only about ten miles from where I lived in Lake Jackson, Texas. Sadly, I only visited this beach about four times in the six years I lived nearby. Each day is a challenge. A challenge to get by without thinking about the fibromyalgia pains. A challenge to stay awake when chronic fatigure wants to take over. And a challenge to navigate through fibro fog. I haven't been writing as much as in the past. For years, I wrote at least 500 words a day. Now, I'm lucky if I write 500 words in month. Sigh. For more information about what my day (or life) is all about with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, chronic pains, IBS, depression and everything else thrown in, check this out:

This article linked below has some wonderful quotes by President John F Kennedy. It says, "Kennedy called for the independence of artists: “If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him,” for “in a democratic society the highest duty of the writer, the composer, the artist, is to remain true to himself and to let the chips fall where they may.” “We need a creative America today,” Kennedy argued. Creativity means new ideas and leadership; otherwise, a people can only be enslaved: “They have no vision, no imagination to beckon them, no direction in which to move—save where the pressures of the moment may push them.” **** This is me again: I mourn the fact that our youth are not encoutaged to read, to learn, to discover and to create. Our children should be encouraged to write poetry and essays, to paint and to sculpt, and to write music. As writers ourselves, we should be prepared to make sure that the future of our world inccludes creative works by humans, not just AI. https://lithub.com/who-was-the-only-sitting-president-to-contribute-to-a-literar...
