So, taking care of myself after NOT taking care of myself for years
is turning out to take a lot of time! I've been to a nutritionist and
to a holistic doctor and my, oh, my - I have a lot of damage to repair!
My thyroid isn't working up to snuff, my adrenals are a mess, my immune
system is ridiculously low... All caregiver/ACON stuff - I'm
determined to get my body back in decent running order and NEVER let
this happen again.
I'm also doing some silly stuff,
stuff that most women do in their teens and 20's - I'm figuring out what
sorts of clothes look best on me, what colors I want to include more of
in my wardrobe, what I want my "style" to be - honestly, this sort of
thing never really showed up on my radar - Nmother had pretty much
convinced me by the time I was a teenager that I wasn't to stand out,
that my choice in clothing was abysmal, and that she and she alone
determined taste and style. Needless to say, these choices did not
include COLOR! It's hard to blend into the background while wearing
COLOR! My loving sister helps a lot by telling me that certain colors
look really good on me - I'm wearing more color, but now I want to tie
it together more - it sounds kind of froo-froo to me, but I'm
over-riding that and forging ahead!
I'm also spending
some time thinking about what I want to do with the rest of my life -
this nutrition/herb/oil thing is intriguing to me - I'm seeing dramatic
improvements in my health rather quickly, which I hadn't anticipated.
The people I'm working with are wonderfully intuitive, they're great
listeners, and I trust them to have my best interests at heart. I'm
looking into it - I'll probably have to work at least part time for the
rest of my life and this time, I want it to be something I love doing
and something that won't require 60 hours a week to accomplish well!!!
