Spoon Lady Speaks...

Congrats to LindaK who was the big winner in our butyoudontlooksick.com 5 year photo contest!.

We asked our message board members to post pictures and the only guidance given was "5 years of spoonies". All the entries were wonderful! (I will feature all of them here this week, but we had to start with LindaK - our winner!) I was SO impressed with the creativity, and passion in each of the photos. Thank you to all the participants!

"I thought really hard about what the website is and what it means to the members here. So, of course - I used the 5 spoons. Then I thought about meds and the negative issues we have about them - so many of them, the side effects, the looks people give us when we have to ask for them, or when they find out how many we take. So, me being me and being little Miss Postive - I used the pills to create rays of sunshine coming from the spoons. So, just as the sun is the center of our world and the give us warmth and hope, the spoons are our center and the rays of pills reach out so that we can touch all that belong."

Happy 1st Birthday Olivia Emma!

For so long, people told me not even try, or that I wasn't ideal..healthwise. or...worse... that she might not be what we expected or wanted...healthwise....

But That is the thing. I DO NOT make decisions in my heart based on science, I base them on prayer and love and trust. God gave me a perfect little girl, who comes with a warm loving family, that we will all raise together. Mybaby girl could not get any cuter, or smarter, or healthier.... or any more mine. I love her, more then I ever though I could.

I wish I knew how to whistle... I don't. I have tried, I have watched people, I don't know why but I just can't make the noise come out of my mouth. I am jealous of anyone who can carry a tune by whistling. Now that I have had my daughter I wish I can whistle like her grandpa.

There are so many little things that I wish I could do.
