Birds sing and I write. <br /><br />I try to take each moment one at a time. I alway find grace in each moment, regardless.

The beauty you can bring forth in your suffering is all the more breathtaking because of it.<br />I like the name. :) It adds a new meaning to "feeling harried."Faith E.

"George" was also the name I learned in middle school, BTW.

But my best friend in high school came up with George :) You are right migraines are different than the typical tension headache or one that you might get with the cold or flu. It's a hammering inside. My husband can feel it when he rubs my head.<br /><br />Bish, oh, I cry and moan too, but the compulsion to write is strong. I truly believe I couldn't if it weren't for the grace of God.Vijayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876606729146077830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221151616674180073.post-5886204443372592622014-01-12T14:35:38.518-05:002014-01-12T14:35:38.518-05:00All I could do when I had migraines was curl up in...All I could do when I had migraines was curl up in bed with the pillow over my head and moan.

And male names, at that.<br /><br />I have no idea how you write with a migraine. I never had one, but I've been told they are not ordinary headaches, and I don't think I could write through even the usual variety.Mirka Breenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653086859905415156noreply@blogger.com
