Welcome.

I always thought of blogs as being narcissistic, business related, or as my sister's, a way of keeping in touch or memorializing.

But, by necessity, I am learning a lot about myself. I find I need to get my thoughts out, and it helps me to know that someone else will read them. So I have created this little space for myself, to express the things I have trouble saying (be it emotional or physical trouble), to share what I'm going through, and what I'm learning through it.

I absolutely welcome comments. It's nice to know how people relate to what I'm saying.

One week, no schedule, feeling great

It has been one week since I made the conscious decision to abandon all routines and schedules as far as reality permits, and I am feeling incredibly fantastic. I have actually had symptom free periods of up to several hours. I have been more active, and with less repercussions.

So is this because the Osteopathy is working? Because the methylation is working? Because I've freed myself from certain constraints and therefore been able to put the energy I was spending worrying about scheduling into healing? Because I've been so successful at shifting my perspective? I have no idea. I have a very strong feeling it is a combination of all of these factors, and probably some others I am not taking into account as well.

It is so amazing to be feeling more like myself again. This week, I've been to Michael's, the dollar store, coffee shops, McDonalds, to buy a new dishwasher, to get my car serviced and to the ravine to sit by the river (but I didn't stay long because the leaf-blowers on the other side of the street were very ridiculously loud and annoying). I had a friend over for dinner, I've knit 2 toddler scarves, played around with wires and beads, cleaned up a section of my living room, painted, finished a book, and hey - I even took a shower! And all this while doing dishes by hand for three days, because the dishwasher's broken. Unbelievable. And the best part is that there has been no post-exertion crash - no extra healing time needed.

This is huge for me. Huge.

I do wonder, if all along, part of the problem was the low-volume yet constant rumbling in the back of my brain and coursing through my body that was worried about keeping track of things and events and times and responsibilities. I wonder how much of my energy was going into that, because now that it's not, I feel fantastic, and not just emotionally speaking. Not having a schedule has altered my physical reality, and that is truly amazing to me.
