Nowhere but up

This is my first entry into the blogging world. My name is Marie Turco-Moslemian. I am a woman who is challanged everyday with the insults of Fibromyalgia. As an artist, it is ironic. As, the thing that I most enjoy, causes the most pain. I still play little tricks on myself, trying to outsmart the pain. I usually lose. In fact, even sitting in front of the computer to write this blog, will, undoubtedly cause a very unpleasant reaction. The painting on the left is an example of some of my art. But, we need to laugh through the pain.

Anyone who faces daily, physical challenges, knows that sometimes you just have to say: "What the hell."

They say that those with Fibromyalgia have overly sensitive nervous systems, and are higly sensitve in general. I tend to agree. Sometimes our sensitvity is a crushing weight. In the last few months, my house has become a haven for some adorable Deer mice. I love, animals of any ilk. With the weather being brutally cold, the mice caught in the humane traps, can not be safely released outside. I will write more about the fate if my sweet, but troublesome visitors. But, it is safe to say, that I have once again gone overboard in my rescuing behavior. This seems to be a common denomiator with poeple with fibromyalgia. We become overly involved with everyone and everything. But, some of the nicest people you will ever meet have this affliction. I hope to write some musings with this blog and I hope you enjoy them.
