I've been quiet of late. I'm in kind of a peaceful place. I mean, I need to find a job, and I should be tense about that, but I feel SO much better, physically and mentally, that there's kind of a cloud of bliss floating around me. I saw my doctor the other day, he and his team seemed really happy with how I am doing. It's kind of mind boggling to me…how DIFFERENT I feel since I started seeing him. My first appointment was in October, and I really started the diet/supplements around the fist of November. I can't begin to tell you the difference between the way I felt then and the way I feel now. My dizziness is 90% gone, my brain fog, all the digestive issues, everything is 90% gone. I lapse back quickly if I cheat, but I haven't cheated much. Eating while traveling is hard….I was craving one of my smoothies by the time we got home yesterday. I've also lost weight, which although it wasn't the primary reason for doing this, has been a great bonus. The biggest difference is really in my brain….the way I feel and think….I've lost the sluggishness and the fog that made it hard to function. I feel sharp and bright and clear again. I feel more like myself than I have in some time.
So I'm floating along in my little bliss. The real world and its worries are there but I feel more able to deal with them.
Last night's last minute dinner. Ernie splurged on a pizza but I quite enjoyed my big bowl of Brussels sprouts, grass fed beef, and pomegranate seeds.
We did some more wandering again over the weekend. The eeriness of Cairo, Illinois has stayed with us. The pouring rain and slightly flooded fields didn't help the miasma of bleakness.
nice ghost sign though, huh?
However, we also found lots of wonderful things, some healthy, some abandoned. As always, I like the abandoned ones better. Is it just that I think they need me?
As always, if you like these pictures, follow me at Instagram. I've been enjoying posting there lately!
I’m so happy to read this, Cynthia. The pictures of Cairo are an interesting juxtaposition to how you feel inside.
Reading Ron Chewnow’s “Grant.” Mrs. Ulysses S Grant hated Cairo. And Grant himself took his regiments down the Mississippi for their first battle because they were getting droopy and lethargic at their HQ in Cairo. The Cairo in Egypt is probably better.
