Copy this into a word document and fill it out for yourself

"For whatever a man sows, that he will also reap." (Galatians 6:7b)
The choice remains mine; focusing on the creative and spiritual aspects of my life can alleviate my frustration.

Ways That I give up My Power/Authority over Myself.

How do I give until I give out?

What do I want people to say about me?

Ways I can prevent allowing FMS be my conversation. What other things can I talk about?

Looking for everyday awesomeness:

Examples:
It was raining and dreary, I found the beautiful colors of intense yellow, pearlescent white and multi-layered blues within the dark clouds.
I admired the glistening trees after the rain.
L'automne est un deuxième printemps où chaque feuille est une fleur. (Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.) -Albert Camus

I am not my disease.

I am happy to say that my story is out. Out of me, that is. It was important to tell the history. It was good to get it said and clean the slate for my new beginning.  
In the book Who Moved My Cheese by Spencer Johnson, MD, one of the little mice keeps waiting for the cheese to come back while the other one searches for new cheese. Up until today, I have focused on the old cheese coming back.  I am done with that. I assert that I will either find new cheese or I will buy cows, harvest the milk, and make my own cheese!
I am done wishing for my old life and instead, I intend to embrace and create a satisfying new life.  I am going to paint and garden and restore old dolls. I am going to love my family with all my might. I am going to reconnect with old friends and make new friends.  I am going to reinvent myself.
Wanna watch?  You'll see!
