I think the world arthritis campaign is excellent, carry on the good work of shattering the myths.

The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.
If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

Went to one of my SIL's to celebrate MIL's 94th birthday and we had such a laugh taking a "waving" photo to upload onto the fab waving photomontage. There’s still time for you all to get involved in the campaign – upload your waving photographs and videos now and help reach the aspiration of capturing 100,000 people waving their support for people with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs), around the world. As I type the number stands at 058,289.You have until 31 October to do this.
Our happy photo sent today added a further 10 waves to the total, including a 7 week old baby
You gotta send in a wave(s) now Toni

Dear Barbara
We had such great fun yesterday, doing the photo! I have 2 aunts, one uncle and a niece over from Finland arriving in the uk later today and they will be visiting us Thursday along with my mum. Lucie will bring Lola over after school and Ben will arrive after work, so another "waving" photo will certainly be taken and sent over.
Hope you are okay-ish,
Love and gentle hugs

I am most proud of the fact that I have uploaded 128 waves to date to the World Arthritis Day photo montage. I have a wonderful family and group of friends who have joined in and made this possible and it has been great fun and I thank them. The closing date is 31st October and I will definately upload some more photos before the closing date.

There are now a total of 062, 338 waves, a good increase since I first posted this thread , when there were 058,289 waves, but we are not anywhere near the 100,000 target which is a disappointment and by the look of things we will not reach it by 31 October.
