Re: Judy:

Yes, Joanne, Spirituality is extremely important for humans. I don’t know how

people can deny it.

And taking care of ourselves and our own health is the next step. As they say in

an airplane, put your own mask on first. If you don’t have your mask on, you

can’t take care of anyone else.

It also took me a while to allow my husband to share some of the burden when he

retired. But finally I realized that I just couldn’t do everything. In fact he

then ended up having to take care of me for a while. Letting go of control was

actually good for me. Now we share the chores and it has really made a

difference for both of us. He does what he can do best and I do what I can do

best. I come from a long line of women who took care of everything having to do

with the home while the men did their thing outside the home. I think that was

part of my stress and my husband of course let me take care of him also and it

all just became to much and my body rebelled. Of course something still had to

trigger it all, but I’ve never been able to pinpoint one thing that did it. I

was going along fine and then I just woke up one morning in so much pain I

couldn’t move.

Oh Judy, I have always felt this with you, you are a shining light. I think the

pain and the degrading symptoms of this illness are enough to make anybody loose

their spiritual self but with all the messing around we get with it, and all the

usual things of life women get and some poor men get, is their any wonder we

become immobilized and I dont just mean physically

Adjusting to wellness is actually a challenge. Firstly it is hard to believe

wellness will last more than a few hours let a lone a few days with this

illness. When we see it last a few days we then are unsure if it could last a

few weeks LOL

We tell people, why we do that I dont know, but we do. I think we expect them to

be over the moon for us but often they are quit sour, saying stuff like, well

you dont look to well to me, and those nutrition things dont work, loads of folk

do them and after a few weeks they are back at square one

The other one I get is, and I know this is sad, but it is true, folk want me to

prove I am well. They actually tell me sometimes I soon have something else LOL

And I cant just blame everybody else for all this because my own mind does

enough to sabotage it

Even when well we do still have to be careful I know especially with the

electromagnetism and chemicals and where this circle ends I do not know but just

a day of from sorting all this is important

I used to try to make Sunday my day of rest, but there was no chance, no chance.

family family family bla bla bla. Anyway i chose Thursday. I mean I go to church

on Sunday etc, but Thursday is my special day with God, Just me and he go out on

that day. I do nothing no cleaning no nothing, Just out with God and we go some

right good places I can tell you

My life now I am well is very much about me and about me being well. The more I

invest in this, the more i have to give to others. It is quit magical and

something I really did not understand when I was younger

I was raised to worry about everybody else and to make sure everybody else's

life was good. I could get all upset about this, I used to but I do not now, I

see that was how it was then and now my life is different. I decided upon an

actual day, several years ago and I said this is the day everything changes and

it did start to change from then

I still have loads of responsibility, I am still caring for lots of poorly

people and all that but I have really changed my approach. It is hard to explain

but basically I see myself as importat as everybody else. I am basically my own

favorite child, But this is not nasty, it really is not, I just look after

myself like I am a child and this means I do not do things that will wear me

down and make me ill. But I am not nasty, in fact because I am so much more

content and happy now I do much much more for people than I ever did

I am lucky Judy, I have friends that have helped me with this. Folk who's lives

and illnesses were even worse than mine, if that could be possible, but they

were. And by observing them and how they cherished every minute and just oozed

with appreciation and just new they were very much loved by God. Yes that is it,

these people new they were loved just new it. From that I grew, my health grew

and my inner spiritual life grew too.

now I value this spiritual life thing above everything. I am very poor you know.

I think I am probably the poorest person I know but god really takes care of me,

He really does. And because I know he is taking care of me all the time with

these needs I know he can and will take care of all the rest. It is so hard to

describe this, it sounds fanciful. but it is what came to me as I started to get

well

so glad you are still here Judy and well done with bees stuff, you are on to a

winner there

Love Joanne
