I started with a scratchy throat last Sunday. I ran 2 plus miles, pruned and trimmed trees and bushes, enjoyed my day outside and started to experience chills around 8 that same night. By Monday morning, I had a splitting headache, chills on-and-off, fever, my teeth hurt and my lower back felt like a cinch had been pulled tight around it. I drank lemon water all day, napped once, actually ate and fell asleep early. Two hours later, I was drenched, changed my pajamas, slept 6 hours and woke up drenched again but an amazing thing had changed: no more headache and three pounds lighter. I felt great mental relief and bizarrely good energy return. I spent several hours outside everyday soaking up the Sun’s healing power, took short walks when the coast was free and clear of people, and continued eating small meals and drinking lemon water.
Since then, I have been motivated to clean and clear…I have gone thru old paperwork and burned, shredded, thrown away and recycled years of paperwork that has been taking up space and energy in my home. It’s not like the difference can be seen but man, can it be felt!! So much lighter around here!
I took a home test Friday evening fully expecting to test negative but no, it quickly went straight to positive. I planned to isolate for another 5 days anyway but I admit it took me off guard and disappointed me to still test positive.
I’m lucky to live in a warm climate with sunshiny weather. To have great friends who have called, touched base and dropped off groceries. To, so far, moved through this world-changing virus at home and remain stable. I am extremely grateful.
I am not vaccinated. I chose to go to a dear friend’s wedding last week and believe that is where I contacted Covid. I had a beautiful time and still, I know how fortunate I am that I am not sicker. I still wash my hands , wear a mask when I am out shopping, still social distance and test regularly. I’m a firm believer in testing to minimize the spread of Covid. I have felt the isolation and disdain of many, including family members, standing in this belief and was depressed for a while, questioning myself, our government, wondering if I would die for my beliefs? It’s been lonely and also a game changer as it has taught me to trust and love myself.
How are you holding up? What has been your covid experience? Write back, call a friend, connect to this world, to your belief’s, to your strengths and your inner Soul. Know you are loved and keep being you.
Always,
Anne
