Blue for You - ME 2024
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 11th of May is “Blue for You – ME 2024” which is in honour of ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia International Awareness Day which happens to fall on May 12th.
May the 12th was chosen as it coincided with the birth date of Florence Nightingale, the celebrated English social reformer and statistician, and the founder of modern nursing. Nightingale became chronically ill in her mid-thirties after returning from the Crimean War; the M.E.-like illness often left her bedridden during the last 50 years of her life.
The angel is for anyone struggling with health issues who needs a miracle of hope. I added the yellow daffodil as it is a symbol for the Canadian Cancer Society. My son was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma when he was 17 and has been cancer free for 23 years. Never give up hope as miracles do happen.
