Welcome to my blog, Spice and Nice! My Name is Joy. Here is my little corner of the internet where I take time to appreciate and learn about new things.
You’ll find poetry (lots and lots of poetry), recipes, ramblings of my insanity, and the occasional post on the importance of relaxing far, far away from other people.

A minor rant about chronic pain syndrome
I suppose I have been sharing more about living with chronic pain syndrome and what it feels like to spend most of the day lying down in pain. For the purpose of this post, I hope to rant a little bit. Just a tiny conversation between you and me. It will be our secret. There…
