Life is a grindstone.  But whether it grinds us down or polishes us up depends on us.

This will be a quick post tonight.  I've been unbelievable tired all afternoon and tonight.
 Since 2pm I haven't been able to do anything but lie down, eyes shut.  Just can't keep my eyes open.  But the morning however was really good, just the opposite!  Had an good sleep. There's certainly been a big change in my ability to sleep better and  for longer at night since giving up sugar and caffeine and not eating a big dinner.  I don't have to get up for the toilet 2 times a night and I fall asleep much faster!  So this morning I actually said to myself, "I think I feel good!" I had a satisfying eggs and bacon breakfast at 8am, and then went on a brisk 40 min walk.  Had a bowl of yogurt, blueberries and walnuts at 10am, then I did 3 hours of gardening in the beautiful Autumn sunshine. Had a good lunch, but for some reason, from 2pm onwards, I couldn't keep my eyes open. Must have done too much activity!!!!  The fatigue hit me like a bomb. Just soooo tired, slight head ache and slightly sore throat and tender glands again.  It's not a cold, I'm sure, it's just the body detoxing still, going up and down, and releasing and trying to deal with  the last of all that crap I've been eating for so very long!  My foggy brain has cleared up, my muscle pains are getting better with the exercise and stretching every day and my appetite is not an issue at all. No cravings at all.  Amazing. Had a small serve of chicken and stir fry veges tonight, but I really wasn't hungry.  So to bed early yet again! Getting enough sleep and rest seems to be critical this week. 

My other meditation verse for today was:
The Lord has promised me a place of renewed health and life.  As I soak in the wisdom of God's word and apply it, I can know true success and vitality through His power and grace. 

There is nothing we can do on our own or by our own power.  But if we tap into God's eternal power we will be carried and given strength wherever we go and whatever we do for His glory.
