"It makes such a
difference," said Pooh,
"to have someone who believes in you.
Promise me you'll always remember:
You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.

Right back at you x

Seeing as it’s Cheltenham this week - I have never & will never support horse racing @animalaid.org.uk
I'm pledging to support Animal Aid's campaign to ban horse racing. Please join me and don't attend horse racing events. action.animalaid.org.uk/page/167069/...
Repotting my houseplants is at the forefront of my mind. I reckon I must have at least 10 to do. Need to do an inventory of my current stock of pots first. Exhausted thinking about it
For the purpose of this conversation, yes!
And that backside!
Huge 💪
Family Time!
Short outing to the shops by bus. Leo happy to continue his security shift away from home.
He must have been pulling - the state of his harness! 🙈

John McGinn is now back in full training at Bodymoor Heath. If he feels ready, the skipper may also travel to Lille for Thursday's match, which would come as a much-needed and timely boost for Unai Emery.

Still hitting me hard 10yrs on
Absolute disgrace. All for a few Reform votes that they’ll never get anyway.
I haven't experienced that, I'm afraid. My mum had ovarian cancer that I didn't know about & I got a phone call late one night to say she'd died. I'm always very nervous of late night calls now. Make sure you get a photo together x
11 Tips for Flare-up Days Slow down immediately. Your body is asking for rest - listen to it! Find a comfortable position - (pillows, blankets, cozy recliner chair). Use gentle heat on sore areas (heating pad, warm shower). Stay hydrated - dehydration can increase pain and fatigue. Eat small, easy meals so digestion doesn't drain your energy. Limit noise, light, and stress (sensory stimulation) - a calm environment helps the nervous system. Try gentle stretching - if your body allows (no forcing, no pain). Break tasks into small tasks - one at a time. Protect your energy - say "no" without guilt. Rest your mind - music, deep breathing, guided relaxation, prayer, journaling. Take naps when you're tired - without guilt. Watermark: ©DearFibromyalgia/beth

Present & correct, Ma'am 🫡 Morning Emma!
The hardest part of invisible illness isn't just the pain. It's the constant having to explain, justify, and prove you're sick. You don't owe anyone a performance of suffering.
