I feel the same way and this weekend after a not so nice conversation with my teenager I just sat and cried and cried, not something I ever allow myself to do. It felt odd to let myself go like that.

I had been ignoring all the signs that my body wasnt well and ended up in hospital having 3 bags of blood transfused so I could actually breathe again because my iron had become so low I could have collapsed. Now I am on permanent rest until my iron levels go back up to normal so I have been sitting and knitting and watching some great knitting podcasts. I truly hope the chinese herbs are helping you feel better and make sure you relax as much as you can. My sister takes chinese herbs too and they seem to help her a bit. I hope your not rushing around as much and feel better in a few days.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02893692345113831018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-7775586150036852882014-05-26T09:05:02.144+10:002014-05-26T09:05:02.144+10:00Great that you are taking time to care for yoursel...Great that you are taking time to care for yourself...........and I say if 2 hrs sitting and knitting stops you from having an hour of therapy, it's good therapy.

I ignore the signs. Even when I see the signs and have good intentions, I self-sabotage by not following through. I love the idea of starting each day with warm lemon water. I went through a stage of starting each day with apple cider vinegar and water and it really did help to cleanse me. But, I lost momentum. Why is it so hard to do a simple routine for oneself?! You've inspired me to try to start that again.

Thank you. <br /><br />I learnt this the hard way. A number of years ago I ended up in hospital completely exhausted. I wasn't looking after myself. Since then I try to remember to make my health a priority. It's as you say though, it's easier to give the advice to slow down but often hard to do it yourself. I love farmer Bren's words.

I don't know if you have read it. But this time the whole concept of going out into nature and re-charging when I feel I need it feels like a relevation to me! You might like it too and yes then we have more energy for everyone else. I have been starting the day with apple cider, warm water and honey, it feels good!

Enjoy life with them,and your wonderful farmer boy.<br /> I have signed up as i will love to continue the journey with you, even though I am at the other end of the scale and have a grandchild the same age as Pepper living in Queensland, We dont see them as much as we would like. I would have liked to join you in your motif a day, but far too late, since it was my birthday this last week I told my daughter her present to me is a photo a day. I did this with two of my sisters a couple of years ago and we really enjoyed it .I now want her to join the fun, she has agreed so we are swapping a photo a day, she is using her phone or tablet at present, soon I hope she will start using her camera . i think i will send her to your blog to see what great photos look like. thanks again so much for sharing.

I wasn't really expecting my recovery to take so long, but it has, and I'm learning so much about the value of rest, and slowing down, and looking after my body. And discovering that it really is ok to say "I'm taking this time to get better" and for others to step up for a while, hard though it might seem for us. It's a good time of year to cocoon a bit, too, and avoid colds and bugs. Hope you have some sunshine to sit in.

It's hard to give ourselves permission to indulge in something that is pleasurable to us, because the guilt sets in and then the pleasurable activity is spoiled. I took your advice and spent the whole day sewing yesterday and my soul felt renewed, even when later that day we had a torrential downpour and our living room flooding out and THEN we had an earthquake (no damage) and I was quite able to take it all in my stride. So, yup, I certainly had a day to remember.<br />Jak xJakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01208269163297762265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-34060113040625983102014-05-25T18:03:00.286+10:002014-05-25T18:03:00.286+10:00Yo no se ingles y lo que he podido entender a trav...Yo no se ingles y lo que he podido entender a traves del traductor me he sentido muy identificada.
