Here's another:

" Long Live Life!!! Down with Death, Disease & Suffering!!

Yep, I'm still here. Haven't gone " no mail " yet. Can't do without staying in

daily contact with this egroup. You people are my shot in the arm everyday. The

first thing I head for in the morning is my computer to read your messages. Just

being in your caring, knowledgeable, experienced company has raised my inner

spirits & given me hope & helpful health information I haven't had in years.

It's not wise & it's even self-destructive to be thinking/ feeling I'm dying.

That's such a self-defeatist attitude. Maybe if I just monitor my " death/dying "

thoughts & change them to " life/living " ones as often as I catch myself thinking

that way, it will work for a positive change. Can't hurt anyway.

So now I'm working on it. Remind me if I slip & start sounding negative again,

okay? Can't have that. I mean after all the studying I've done the past 20 years

in metaphysics for being a (now retired) ordained teaching/preaching

spiritualist minister/astrologer & how our thoughts can change our lives for

better or worse, I ought to know better. Well they say we teach what we need to

learn. So true.

I do believe that " thoughtforms " become " things " so our thoughts & our words do

tend to manifest as our reality. So I've got to return to practicing what I used

to preach.

Caroline,

Now, that sounds more like it. It's good to here your change of

heart. Thanks for sharing your innermost. It helps all of us to

remind one another to think positive.

The natural part of us will flow into the stream of despair. It may

be rough at time, but we must flow up stream to where the water is

wonderful.

Keep on, keepin' on!

TY, Crystal. Maybe the natural thyroid I've been taking the past few days is

working to help my mind work more hopefully/positively.

Also my son came with a friend over the weekend, brought me a newer car & helped

me with scads of stuff in my house & yard I just can't do anymore & can't afford

to pay anyone to do. So it's a huge relief to have all that done & have a new

car so I can drive again after a month without any.

I guess just feeling all that loving stuff my son did for me & having him & his

friend here & all the stuff that got done infused me with new energy. It's great

to have someone show so much love to us, isn't it? Very supportive &

encouraging. Two of my four adult kids usually do that for me when/if I see them

which is hardly ever anymore since we're all living so far apart now.

I even made a new time/efficiency schedule for myself for all else I still gotta

do, errand running, appointments & mental work mostly. And I plan to get back

into doing a bit of at least some slow-movement stretching exercises, deep

breathing & endocrine gland exercises to clean & balance those & the rest of my

body/mind. Nothing too strenuous tho & at least 15 minutes of walking outside in

the fresh air, leisurely at first tho & not far from home.

I wrote all that into my schedule too. So it's like New Year's resolutions here.

And things are looking up again. I'll keep on truckin' you bet. The schedule is

just a loose plan, not something I'll be a time-slave to. But a guideline mostly

to use flexibly as best I can. But schedules do help me to stay grounded &

focused. And also to get necessary things done for myself & my own well-being.

Whether you realize it or not, I think that the natural thyroid is already

having good effects, also! It's hard to see that in the beginning, but,

yes, a good relationship with children and other people also do miracles

also. This is the spice of life.

Well what I wrote in that previous email you responded to isn't what I've been

feeling the past day or so which is just plain crappy, no energy, can't do all

the stuff on my schedules, too tired, aches & pains everywhere, hands/fingers

hurt/stiff & I'm clumsy as an ox spilling & dropping, breaking things too much

lately. Is that another hypoT symptom?

I did get a few things done tho in my new car around town today tho including

pickup up the Armour generic Rx & others.....finally.

The gen.Armour is only for 30mg a day but that's twice as much as the 15 mg the

druggist originally said it was. But even 30 mg is nothing, really.

But didn't get as much other stuff done as I had planned...too tired, in pain &

too stiff to do anymore. So oh well, we'll see how it goes tomorrow after a good

night's sleep & another generic Armour 15 mg increase. Haven't felt much of a

change so far tho there might be something going on I can't detect much yet.

Can't expect much on ony l grain a day tho I guess.

Oh geez...I wrote that about my newer car about 2 weeks ago. things have changed

since then. The schedule is down the tubes now. Can't have structured daily

schedules like I used to. I have to rest because of probable adrenal exhaustion

for which I have all the symptoms & will be tested next Monday. I've also now

got a whole of acid indigestion & hoping I don't have an ulcer so haven't been

feeling all that good. On the other hand, the Armour's starting to work because

my hands, feet & nose are warmer. So here's hoping things will get better in the

digestion & adrenal dept.

Thanx for the well wishes & support,

Caroline
