If this hadn't started the day before Lent, you'd think it was chocolate withdrawal!
The headaches have subsided somewhat but I'm still lacking in energy. I tried dancing last night after a months absence but really not up to it so came home after a few dances as quite exhausted.
My husband thinks it's the weather and another drop in my hormones due to this menopause malarkey! Have to say the hot flashes and/or night sweats have come back with a vengeance lately, so he's not far off the mark, and I do suffer from SAD, hence big round light above desk that you can sometimes see in my desk photos.
Anyway looks like I will have to concentrate on crafting and doing my reading sessions all at my desk as I can cope with those quite nicely.
So to the desk....thought I'd have some breakfast for a change, I usually fast up to lunch but maybe now's not the time.
1st desk =now
2nd desk = mid scripture52 card whilst watching the online video and trying frantically to find stash to match what the presenter was using.
Week 3 of my Lent Bible Journaling watercolours was done just the day before week 4 was published.
It was on the theme of fasting and washing your face so you didn't look like you were fasting and I've just told you all I'm fasting! So I'm not quite hitting the mark with being a good Christian - oh my! Try as I might I'm still human and still fall short no matter what. Fortunately tomorrow is another day and we get to start again...
And my church all age service on the theme of money meant I got to decorate this little chap....so cute. Love their week 2 all age services.
We did "The Price is Right" quiz and our team won, hence the love hearts. Still shocked at the national debt being £2.8 Trillion though!
Oh and finally a friend who was recently inducted as a new minister in training has asked me to teach Bible Journaling for a Ladies Breakfast in June. I'm thinking about it.....Eeeeekkkk!
Happy WOYWW Everyone.
Wow, being asked to teach Bible Journaling is great, you can and must do it. Think of the joy you will bring to so many and your samples are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you are feeling, would 'low' be the right word for how you feel? I too am tired and last night I slept much of the evening and then had a good night's sleep too. Still feel tired even though I went back to sleep after my link up with the blog (only because I get up so much in the small hours).
Be kind to yourself and do what you can when you can and if that light helps, stay underneath it.
Hugs, Neet 2 xx

ReplyDeleteI hope the energy levels pick up soon - and some more bright days would be lovely I agree! Hope you accept the offer to do the Bible teaching, i am sure you'd be great! happy WOYWW Helen #1
ReplyDeleteWell I think the bible journalling ‘teaching’ will be like falling off a log for you! Think the power of the third thought….I can’t (immediate), I might be able to (on consideration), I can (because you can)! All it’ll take is multiples of the resources you use yourself. Cute little pig, we still use an old one that I painted years ago. Usually it gets topped up by change found during tidying and cleaning, and raided for car parking! As for having breakfast, I agree, try to make it a protein so you have some energy…an egg or something. Also,my friend has done MASSES of research into her menopause and is taking an oestrogen supplement (I know not what) and it has boosted her energy hugely. Worth a look or a call to the GP, don’t suffer!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure in time you'll start to feel better just relax and don't try to push yourself too hard. Wishing you a happy asnd creative woyww, Angela x11x
