Hi Susan!

Loved reading your joys...pure joy! Loved reading about your happy, well-fed, and radiant granddaughters and loved picturing that HUGE leaf! awesome!

I'm sorry you were feeling under the weather and are not able to get BS steady. hnmmm. That is puzzling. Did you want to post your journal maybe and get some feedback that way? How's sleep?

Hope you feel better soon.

Big hug,

Sandra

: How lovely to read others joys!
: Thanks for sharing, everyone!
: Mine include a walk (after a healthy
: picnic) that I enjoyed with my
: granddaughters in a park I first
: enjoyed as a girl fifty years ago.
: The dry oak leaves still make the
: same crunch, the wind gusts still
: blow the leaves in a wondrous
: pattern, and I brought home the
: biggest oak leaf that I think I
: have ever seen, eleven inches from
: stem to tip! Pure joy, I think, is
: hearing well-fed, happy kids say,
: "this was a really good
: day!" at the end of a hectic
: school and extra-curriculars day.
: ~smile~

: I could use some help, please. More
: than two weeks ago I seemed to
: have a stomach flu bug, and since
: then I just haven't felt right.
: Like I haven't been able to get my
: blood sugar steady it seems. I
: have added in some snacks and
: extra browns, which helps keep
: nausea down, but I am kind of
: forcing myself to eat sometimes,
: and not feeling the greatest after
: anything, really. No food is
: enough or quite right for holding
: me, it's very strange. The old
: normal, my best standbys, aren't
: doing it for me. My blood pressure
: is lower than it normally is and I
: am just not myself. Any thoughts?

: I know it's been said that it's
: always the food. I have
: ruled out bad water, now wondering
: if my body no longer likes or
: processes oats (in regular or
: gluten-free). That will be my next
: thing to eliminate unless someone
: else has other thoughts. And I am
: eating my personal regular trusty
: food every 2.5 hours or else
: feeling really, really off.

: Thanks for any advice.
