I've been thinking about doing this blog for awhile now . I already have another blog for card-making and scrapbooking , but i wanted a place that i could come to and just write random stuff , whether it be about my daily life , my baking , books that i'm reading and to add poems and quotes .
So here we are .
I'm sitting in my crafting room at the moment on my easy chair typing this . My fatigue from my ME is kicking in at the moment and i'm fighting not too drop off to sleep . I hate this illnes or should i say illness's , i feel like a prisoner in my own body . There are some days when i dont feel so bad , when the pain level is low and then you think if i just do something a bit more it wont hurt ? !! Oh but it does hurt because next day or even the after that the pain will kick in and boy does it let you know that yes it did matter . The feeling of not having control over your own body is a frightening one , but somehow you have to try and over come that helpless feeling . Pacing yourself is something you are told or you read time after time , but when you have always been active it isn't quite that easy . Having to give up work last year has helped but not as much as i thought or hoped it would , but i am coping better and i dont have to deal with so much stress as i did before so that is a bonus !
I'm going to end here i think as if i dont get up and start doing something i am going to fall asleep ... Bye for now .....I'd like to leave you with this quote which says it all really for some-one suffering from some form of illness .......love and hugs Meme xxxx

Keep your chin up Melita. I started having mysterious health problems 10 years ago, all I heard was "there is nothing we can find". Turns out I am gluten intolerant. I quit my job last year too. I have a vintage store and am open weekends 5 hours each day, that is plenty. Now I am doing my little cupboards and blog. Thank you for joining my blog and for your so nice comment, it really made my day. Take special care my friend,
