BLUE FOR YOU - ME 2024

For Maria Godfrida, who is the administrator of the group "Smile on Saturday".

 

More information:

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

May 12 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.""

 

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

Therefore there is (for the sixth time already) a theme with 'blue as the main colour' on Saturday May 11.

She has called this theme "BLUE FOR YOU - ME 2024".

 

With this topic she would like to encourage not only the people here at Flickr who suffer from that disease, but anyone who is in pain, physically or mentally.

 

I do hope that someday there will be treatment for this illness!
