From the Lyme Pit

A veritable tsunami of Lyme symptoms has been trying to drag me under. I'm doing my best to fight the good fight but I'm at the stage where it actually hurts to wear clothes (known as "allodynia")! The alternative doesn't appeal so I just wear the loosest-fitting things I can find.

But hurray, my brain still works! I'm making good notes on my current WIP, which is growing closer and closer to my heart. I'm also catching up on my reading. And I spend time in the morning and evening reading from the Liturgy of the Hours

I firmly believe that reading the Liturgy is not restricted by denomination. Much of it is selections from the Psalms; the rest is scripture from both testaments and readings from the early Church fathers.

All I know is it gives me encouragement even in the most difficult times, and reassures me that God is always with me.
