dreaming of paris…

I have exciting news developing! We may be headed back to Paris soon! In addition to returning to my favorite city in the world, I might be checking another gorgeous country off my must-see travel list…Belgium! Mr. Fleurishing has a business event in Brussels, and we are planning a trip around it…and we will be sure to spend time in Bruges as well. I am bursting with excitement and am making a list of anything I've missed in previous trips to Paris. I'm planning on meeting my new nephew Eliott, and hopefully visiting a few frenchie friends! Fingers crossed this happens…

music transports me

     Albums

 

This musical musings post is dedicated to my Dad, who, along with my Mom, inspired me to be a music lover. I can hardly ever remember a time when music wasn’t playing in our house. We would dance, sing, and share the joy of it. These are just some of the artists (and albums) that immediately take me back to my childhood. Each and every time…it amazes me. What songs take you back in time?

 

health update…

I feel I should update you all about my health, and I hesitate to write this as I don't want it to seem like a pity party. Exactly one month ago today (ironic-just realized it) I wrote about my concerns, and I was "officially" diagnosed with fibromyalgia two weeks ago. After ruling out other things via blood testing and seeing a rheumatologist, it was confirmed. This might sound odd, but it came as a bit of a relief to me, as it explained so much that I had been dealing with, and made sense considering all of my symptoms. I am getting used to my "new" body, which isn't as energetic…I find myself struggling mostly with fatigue, which is common. I think once I get used to my new limitations and learn what level of excertion is healthy and comfortable for me, things will get easier. I am very thankful for my supportive family (especially my hubby) & friends, and all of you…your sweet comments & love mean so much.
