Blogs...

You certainly can write a lot in a FB post, but hardly anyone will read it. They're predisposed to little blurbs.

But with this you have the assumption of sitting down for a moment. Of writing and being heard. 

Today is a good day for me. My depression and anxiety are not acting up. My pain levels are low and I'm able to move around my house without my cane. My co-worker friend invited me to wine tasting tonight, and I'm thinking of going without my cane. Usually I take it just in case.

You see, I have an invisible 'disease' or 'disorder'. I have Fibromyalgia and Degenerative Spinal Arthritis. Even on my good days I experience pain, but you wouldn't know it. Not unless it is a bad day, or I bring my cane out on a good day 'just in case'.

Why a cane? Because the higher my pain is the harder it is for me to move around. I also tend to loose spatial awareness because of the pain, and the cane helps in keeping me steady and from knocking into things.

BUT! It's a good day, and there is wine in my future...
