So pondering health has made me look at many things as this year ends. Marriage health has taken priority as I realized it isn’t any better than my physical health. the core aspects are suffering in both areas. I’ve adjusted MY SLEEP to accommodate sex which is necessary for the marriage. My core muscles are so out of shape – I have extreme pain in my lower back just trying to sleep – now add sex and I’m worried about being able to walk. The lack of sleep, however, has brought on another worry; heart palpitations. they lasted for so long last night it scared me. So I’m adjusting my caffeine intake, switching to tea, cutting caffeine. Steve has developed bronchitis. Outside cutting wood, no coat; now he’s sick. I have some mullein for a tea for him, but not enough. Oh man, what are we doing to ourselves trying to keep a normal life; a not old life? SIGH… I guess we need to figure out if we are ok and can exercise and we need to add cardio to our walking stints. I wish I liked it. I like my husband. I like sex. I like being able to stand and walk and sleep. What’s my problem? Everything hurts. I’m 50. I’m gonna make an awful old person.

I believe in and practice positive living. I love YARN, cooking, music, bird watching, herbs, and gardening. I am passionate about YHWH the Elohim of all the earth. I believe it's our responsibility to tend that earth. I basically do my thing in a quiet, amused way. I believe in laughter, and the power of combined prayer. I am a true homebody.
I have 6 kids, all home-born and successfully breastfed. They are all grown. I'm the oldest of 9, daughter of a missionary mother who lives in Kenya, and I have a spoiled service dog and 2 rescued cats.
Right now, there is balance after yrs of unemployment. My disability was approved due to degenerative discs, fibromyalgia, and obesity. That last is hard to say. I believe we owe it to ourselves to protect our mental health. It's precious and the one thing we can control. I would rather not do my own housework and I talk too much. I bought a house in North Carolina which I ended up leaving for my husband to sell. I'm a two-time caregiver. My husband and I are separated due to stroke complications and personality difficulties.
I am in Texas now. The one place on earth I said I'd never go unless Yah moved me there and HERE I AM! G and I are sharing a small apartment and so far, things are going well.
