Thanks for the funny quote ~ from your mom, huh? This tree is a the end of our cul de sac and is a red leaf maple I guess.

My LLMD wants me to try the condensed Cowden protocol but I am looking into Dr. Zhang&#39;s protocol to see if that would work better for me. I have been corresponding with Diane from Peaceful Acres who has only used herbs for Lyme treatment and she is doing well with this...and eating raw dairy, etc.Reneehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07089685282700680525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3527585698480885869.post-10956024684599356612009-10-29T12:32:24.271-05:002009-10-29T12:32:24.271-05:00Hi Joanne<br />A book swap is a good idea~ I am hoping my NAET treatments will help me to be able to handle fragrances more...Reneehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07089685282700680525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3527585698480885869.post-63567734066193956522009-10-29T12:31:32.581-05:002009-10-29T12:31:32.581-05:00Hi Cathy,<br />Thanks for stopping by !~~Reneehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07089685282700680525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3527585698480885869.post-62931724970493918772009-10-27T04:23:25.467-05:002009-10-27T04:23:25.467-05:00I&#39;m reminded of a saying of my mother&#39;s &#39;Life is a s**@ sandwich, the more bread you have the easier it is to swallow.&#39; (Bread is slang for money over here). I&#39;m not sure of the truth of the motto. It may go someway towards explaining my cynical nature given that I heard it quite frequently growing up.<br /><br />It&#39;s so good to hear there are some improvements going on. I also like to retreat into seasonal domestic activity when feeling a bit better. I love to make bread. It&#39;s so practical and magical at the same time.<br /><br />Love the tree by the way.Johttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14378437798741434260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3527585698480885869.post-85267083512508592102009-10-25T15:24:36.926-05:002009-10-25T15:24:36.926-05:00The book &quot;Dangerous Surrender&quot; sounds good-the title itself makes me want to look into reading it.<br /><br />I too love mysteries.<br /><br />Good news that both you and Joel are showing some improvements even in the midst of lots of stress.<br /><br />It&#39;s funny you mentioned the tensing of muscles when under stress. I&#39;ve been very aware of that lately. I&#39;m trying to change that pattern because it uses up energy. It&#39;s amazing how automatic the tensing up has become.<br /><br />What a great idea to have a Fall tradition that you both do. <br /><br />Good question about the quotes. My only quote of late has been &quot;this too shall pass.&quot; I need to do a lot more work around negative self talk...<br /><br />Do you know which herbal protocol you&#39;ll be trying next year?cfswarriorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01299057722862223585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3527585698480885869.post-85558493483965768752009-10-25T14:44:27.340-05:002009-10-25T14:44:27.340-05:00Finding your way with treatments for lyme is as much down to us and chance as any science as clearly Joel is finding out. I do hope his new regime continues to wrk for him and that you continue to improve.<br /><br />What a pity the books are not fresh smelling for reading. Perhaps you should set up a book swap local to you. If you have the energy!Joannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12905137222286141548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3527585698480885869.post-83502581763857719542009-10-24T22:06:14.975-05:002009-10-24T22:06:14.975-05:00Praying you and your husband will feel better ~ It sounds like you both enjoy cooking.

I enjoy your writing and photos so very much. Like I said before, your blog radiates peace for me when I stop by!Reneehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07089685282700680525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3527585698480885869.post-49680234555837519692009-10-24T15:25:54.959-05:002009-10-24T15:25:54.959-05:00Hi Renee!<br /><br />Thank you for coming out of &quot;lurkdom&quot; to say hello a couple of times! I meant to pop over here last time, but life just got away from me:) I always appreciate comments and I really love knowing who my readers are because so many become friends. So thanks for your lovely comments!<br /><br />I am so sorry to hear that you, too, are living with a chronic illness. It isn&#39;t what we had planned, is it? But as John Lennon said, life is what happens when we are making other plans. I also live with a chronic illness which has changed the course of my life in so many ways. But like you, I have tried to make myself as comfortable as possible by creating a little sanctuary for myself. I really enjoyed reading about yours.<br /><br />I do hope that your husband&#39;s new treatment plan is successful and that you continue to improve in the energy area!<br /><br />Sweet potato pie...Yum!<br /><br />Happy Saturday, Renee!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />DebbieDebra Whttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05328458241519464529noreply@blogger.com
