I am so dreadfully tired....being an advocate is truly exhausting when you already suffer from an illness that makes you feel wiped out!
So I am focusing on staying in the moment. After today's 2.5 hour "nap", I've managed to make a healthy dinner. Tony definitely appreciated that as we never know when my energy will be zapped and he'll be in PB&J sandwiches for the night! But , today , in the moment of cooking a good meal I felt alive and inspired by the yummy scent of the rosemary plant that I have growing in my little window garden and the smell of garlic (which I've been advised to eat to remove toxins from my body - who knew)!
My home is so sacred to me - it is where I feel as normal as my body will allow. So, for now, I'll stay here and in this moment and dig deep for strength and energy to get through a solid week out of the house.
Folks, be grateful for the ability to breathe without issues, to smell perfumes without a reaction, to feel energetic when you awake from a good sleep. When I have these fleeting moments, I want to stay in them for eternity. For now, I find them in my mind and drift along that wave of the "moment", soaking in the peace and calm that sweeps over me. Now, if I could only find a way to bottle that and drink it up so my body can follow my mind.....
