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.

A SUNSET PHOTO


Hi everyone.
It's been awhile since I last posted anything here.
We've settled in to a very simple life style of living in our van in a caravan park, most days I try and walk two by twenty minutes walks, one in the morning and one with J in the evening.
My skin had a reaction to the change in water, the water has a lot more calcium in it up here than what we've got back home in Adelaide.
My feet have been a very real issue since being here.First lots and lots of cracks all over my feet, extremely painful and I needed to take extra good care of them. While our daughter and grand-daughter were here, my feet and leg's were very puffy with lots of fluid I felt like a puff ball. It was all to do with the heat and my blood pressure was up again. I'm back on pills again for high blood pressure.
All in all I am giving my body lots of TLC, perhaps this is why I feel better at times????
The fatigue still hangs around, but over all my energy level is better up here.
This place that they call Alice Springs has a very grounding, earthy feel to it.
I hope all is well in your part of the world.
In Love.
Rose

Thanks with Love for your comment.
I'm sure it's the CFS that complicates life for me. It's like it just wants to remind me that I have it,as if I need a reminder!!!!
Love to you.
