FIGHTING LYME (BORRELIA)

When fighting Lyme Disease (Borrelia, and with its other infection fan club) the most important thing is attitude and laughters. And that is very difficult.
I have been very sick for a long time, and I am under a very heavy antibiotic treatment with herbal supplements and a special diet for 6 weeks. It is the toughest thing I ever gone through and every day is a battle field.

It is so difficult not to think of everything I cannot do, and to live with the pain, not to mention being scared.

But, I have a wonderful Lyme Fighting Friend, Laura who sends me funny dog pictures (we love dogs) and this morning this picture was waiting for me.

How wonderful to start out the day with a smile, and so important. Try today to find a picture (or post card) that makes you smile and send it to someone you would love to give a smile today.

That's Amore!

CHILDREN AMORE

 Outside a friend's house, by their door in an apartment area with hundreds of children. On Saturdays and Sunday's, the door bell can go off every minute, so when mom and dad want peace and quiet, they hang up these signs. I loved their idea with these signs.

 Lyme disease can bring down even the best and strongest smile (of course this is my disease.) My best friend from Italy sent me this. I just love it. I printed it out and have put it up by the front door. Now, neither me or the kids forget to take a smile with us when we leave for the day. A smile makes wonders!

 Olivia, my seven- year old daughter's favorite animals are horses. I am making her a scrap book with pictures from when she started riding until today. I got very nostalgic and proud when I found the pictures from when she started at age three in "bella Napoli" all the way to today in "wunderbar Deutschland".

That's Amore!
