Hope ("Blue for You - ME 2021")

For Maria Godfrida, who is the administrator of the group "Smile on Saturday" and today the theme is: "Blue for You - ME 2021"

 

More information:

"""""On May 12 it's ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia International Awareness Day.

M.E. Awareness Week was established by patient advocates and is focused on May 12th, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, who was believed to have suffered with M.E.

From 1857 Nightingale found herself often disabled by poor health, which some suggest may well have been Chronic Fatigue Syndrome(CFS).

As a result, Nightingale now has been adopted as a kind of patron saint for this under-studied disease.

CFS sufferers commemorate her birthday as a kind of rallying point; their own lamp in the dark.

 

Maria is a victim of that illness herself, together with many others here at Flickr.

Therefore there is (for the third time already) a theme with 'blue as the main colour' on Saturday May 8.

She called this theme "Blue for You - ME 2021""""

 

I hope that someday there will be treatment for this illness.
