WELCOME

I 've had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for almost five years.
Today I made the decision to start this online Journal, in the hope that it may be of assistance to others.
This disease really got the better of me this week.
I call it a disease because my body in definitely not at ease with this illness.
However when I say that, this disorder has been the reason behind my Spiritual Journey and my connection to God, in a much more simple way.
So here I am.
I meditate.
I breathe.
I speak and think positive thoughts.
Yet this week...
More fatigue...
Plus...
Plus...
So I found myself being extremely disappointed in my decline...
Anyone who has Chronic Fatigue, will relate to...
It's not about being tired or sleepy...
More like being in, a constant state of flu like symptoms...
No amount of sleep or relaxation helps...
So to go to my specialist and be given a lot of potential illnesses that can develop, sent me into more of a spin and even more disappointment in myself.
Perhaps up until this week, I may have been living in denial.
Most people don't even believe that it's an illness.
So now, I start again on a fairly strict regime of medication, low G.I. diet, limited sun and possible triggers of even more symptoms.
The hope is, that this regime will slow down or kill the bacteria that is responsible for this illness with-in my body.
So if you know of someone ,who may have Chronic Fatigue, or any other energy disorder, please be patient and kind to them...
In Love.

THE THREE ASPECTS OF ME! (30.08.09)

While resting last night, the following became very clear to me, so I'll explain as simply as I remember it.
As most of you know I write on three different blogs and last night it became clear to me that some might think, how can this woman have Chronic Fatigue and still write entries elsewhere.
So...
My CF journal is very much about My Body...
My Breathing blog is about My Mind...
My I AM ROSE blog is My Spiritual connection to God....
All of these are aspects of Me, these blogs expose...
The Whole of Me...
My Body...Mind and Spirit.
How you might ask?
Read my entries and you'll find out.
The fatigue is what brought me to this place of... Stillness...Silence and Reflection...
So I thank the fatigue for this and I welcome the fatigue with Love...
It has served me well.
Now it is time to Live fully in...
The Now Moment.

SHADOW DANCER (DAY 25)

I was extremely fatigued and tired (both at the same time...Hum...).
Anyway after an extremely restless and sleepless night, no guesses here, yep...really fatigued so far today.
On opening the curtains the sun shone so brightly and clear, that I decided to have my morning cuppa out on our front bench (as I write this the Magpie's are singing...) and I became aware once again how nature really nurture's the very essence of who I am.
The birds, the wind, the sun, the blue sky and even a caterpillar all graced me with their presence.
I also noticed just how over grown everything in our yard is. It's been a very wet and cold winter here which makes it hard to get out in the garden and really enjoy it's beauty.
Anyway I noticed all the weeds that have popped up and I thought how quick most of us are to remove or even poison what is truly nourishment for the ground. I also felt this is the same for some parts of me like this illness that I want to eradicate. I feel that this illness is here with-in my body for me to heal some very deep and past life experience. I felt that my early family life was happy, but in recent years some issues have come to pass that I now see more clearly.
So today I am choosing to embrace and integrate all those aspects of me that I call my shadow side. The parts of me, that I beat myself up for, the parts of me that make me who I am, the parts of me that a lot of people don't accept, I have come to realize that some things are not mine to own. I enjoy being me. I just find it difficult to accept that my own siblings don't feel the same way and love me unconditionally.
The fatigue, well the healing starts with me. However nature, weeds and all, nourish, my mind, body and soul. I am at peace with nature and the simplicity I feel when I see the beauty in all.
In Love.
Rose
