Feeling good....

For the last ½ year or so my legs have been really bothering me.  I did go see the doctor who ended up  just giving me pain killers. I am not big on taking pills so I only did take them for a few days. Since then I have struggled on and just tried to rest my legs whenever I could. 

Just before going to Ireland I started to take a spoonful of Cod Liver Oil in the mornings. After about a week I thought my legs felt a bit better. Then I had to go off to Ireland and I had no Cod Liver Oil with me. For two weeks I ate unhealthy, drank too much soda and hardly drank any water. While in Ireland my legs were sooo sore, they even ached when I was just sitting.

Since coming home I have been on the Cod Liver Oil again and drinking water. After a week I think it is having an effect.


So today my legs did not hurt, they were not heavy and they did not ache. I had sooo much more energy. I realised how much the pain/heaviness in them really drains me. Normally when I come home from work I can only think about putting my feet up on the sofa. Other times I sit at work for 15 minutes or so with my feet up, so I can get the strength to drive home. 

But today after work I went to town, met my friend Rhona and had a cuppa and chat with her - and I sinned by eating a piece of strawberry cake!(but otherwise I have been good today!) It was great seeing Rhona and yet again the time flew by! 

Now having a full day at work and then going out afterwards is something I do alot. Usually my life is busy. I have full days and I love that. What was different about today was how I felt! I had so much enery, I did not feel exhausted and longing for the sofa to put my weary legs up for ½ an hours rest! 

In fact, on the drive home the weather was soooo beautiful. The sun was huge and it was low in the sky. I could see it through the trees in the forest. It made me want to go for a walk. So when I came home I went inside and got the camera and then went a walk. YES - I WENT A WALK!!! Now I have longed to do that on other days but on other days, my legs were soooo sore that I just couldn´t do it! I would limp from the car to the house.

However today, I had the most wonderful walk. It was cold but beautiful. I walked without even limping and had a lovely 20 minute walk! 

The pictures do not do the colours of the sky justice. The sky was more red/orange/yellow but I just could not get it captured on my wee camera.

Now for something else:
Years ago I went to Switzerland for 3 months. There I met a girl called Linda Corry. She had (and still has) a beautiful singing voice. Linda just recently made a CD. I bought dad one for Christmas and so when I was home clearing dad´s house, I found the CD. I  brought it back with me and listened to it yesterday for the first time and I haven´t stopped listening to it since. I just love the songs on it. Below is a wee taste of it. If you like it, it is called Break my plan by Linda Corry and all the money from the CD goes to the work of CEF.
