CHRONIC FATIGUE JOURNAL: IT'S OFFICIAL

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.

IT'S OFFICIAL

Well it's official we are now in our new home here in Alice Springs.
Our furniture won't be here until the 1st.April, so until then we are managing with our supplies fro the van. It's not that big a deal as we have everything we need for short term. It's funny really, just how little we actually need from day to day.
Our cats are here with us now, they have just began to settle in,as we also have two new dogs fro the RSPCA (pound).
It's been very full on with the move and my energy levels has been fluctuating quite considerably.
The house is huge and has more than enough room for family and friends to visit.
The whole of Alice is very green here from our recent rain, strange as we live in the centre of Australia, so it's like an oasis in the desert.
I'm grateful for a day off from work today, even though I've been constantly on the phone notifying the necessary organisations of our move, some easier than others and I will be very happy when it's all been done.
I will leave you all with images of Amber one our cats on the day they both arrived (Taylor was hiding ) and our two dogs Monte and Honey.
Enjoying life and the prospect of ongoing wellness.
My Thoughts and Love are with You All.
Hugs and Love.
