My Journey with CFS

Nutrition. Love. Healing.

Powered by Blogger.

It's been so rainy & horrible lately, well all summer actually. But now its nearly October & autumn I'm looking forward to snuggling up in cosy jumpers with a cup of tea and a good book. 
However, even with all this doom & gloom I have been making small steps in a positive direction.

     

Things have really been looking up recently, I am able to do a little bit more.
  1. I started to drive my car again which is a big deal but I don't drive far, 3 miles is probably my limit, but hey it's a start!
  2. I've been able to meet with a few friends for coffee and at the pub.
  3. There was a course at church & I made 2 out of the 3 weeks which I really enjoyed.
  4. Having the energy to make more church services is a great encouragement for me.
  5. Dad & I baked our first Christmas cake last week, so I got the baking bug & pulled out the 'Great British Bake-off' book & made a fruit loaf recommended by a friend. It's gorgeous!
  6. Silly things I am grateful for, I cook alot more of my meals myself.
  7. I join my nutrition course again in January so I got all my old books out & my brain fog is doing better so I'm catching up on my nutrition knowledge. I forgot how much I love to learn.
  8. I also started piano lessons! I love it! I already play the flute so I can read music so I am progressing quite quickly which is exciting. Now it's just a problem of where do we fit a piano in our house?!
  9. For a while now I have been wanting to get a vegetable juicer but they are so expensive so I picked one up for £27 on eBay. So I have been very busy making up strange (but healthy) concoctions. I'm loving simple carrot juice so far.
  10. Last week I had to have yet more blood taken for the Lyme clinic in Germany. They are doing more tests and fingers crossed can finally give a diagnosis! After the nurse took all the blood I was feeling a little light headed.
  11. YAY my mum & dad won a luxury villa in Marbella for a week in 2013 at a charity auction so I am super excited for that! How much better might I be by then!! Lots to look forward too.


So there are a random 11 reasons for me to be looking forwards at the moment.
I stood in the kitchen this morning & thought to myself how lucky & grateful I feel. I was up, dressed, cooking my own breakfast before heading out to church. Not long ago being up and dressed was a massive challenge & usually mum always makes my breakfast. I really feel I am turning a big corner.
If anything, I feel some people think "She'll never do this, she'll never achieve that" & recently I've been thinking & focusing on what I CAN do. I am going to be successful in life even with this illness. Don't get me wrong I have a massive mountain to climb & a long way to go, I still have days where I am bed bound & have a very achy body & I feel upset but the more severe days are becoming less common.




Blood ready to be sent off :(
