Oh my goodness!!! I have been a spoonie for many years…..I just did not really know it. I love the way you explain how we have only a certain amount of energy for a day. People outside of my life have no idea what it takes to do the simple things. 10 years ago I used to be able to go take a shower, wash my hair, get dressed in about 15-20 minutes. To do the same today, even rushing, takes me at least 45 minutes and I am totally done in when I finish. I live alone and even washing a load of clothes is a struggle. The spoon explanation says it all. I now live with severe reduced mobility and movement. I am in constant pain and everything is a struggle. Lol, some days I do not even have my 15 spoons……I am lucky to even have 10 or less. Thanks for the smile this explanation put on my face.

The artwork is all done by a woman who is homebound. She even has a page on there explaining What’s a Spoonie? […]
I hope you don’t mind, but I’m linking this back to my photography posts, Serenity for Spoonies. The first one links to HuffPost, but your explanation is so much better it will appear with #2 scheduled for later today.
