I Can Feel A Titter Brewing

Just to let you know, I woke up this morning, made myself my usual bucket of tea, and halfway through drinking it, could feel a titter brewing (alongside the tea in my unfeasibly large mug).  It wasn't about anything in particular, but it was definitely there.

This is tremendously good news.  I don't like not finding things funny.  I don't like not feeling excited about something, anything.

I have started knitting a scarf.  I've knitted another square for my granny blanket.  I've got my second guest blogger sharing their sparkle here at Mimi and Tilly this week.  And, drum roll please, I've got an article I've written being featured in an online magazine this coming Friday (I'll tell you more about that in a special blog post later this week).

Not too shabby for a woman who temporarily lost her titter.

I'm still experiencing that powerful blend of M.E. symptoms.  However, I've been able to accept them for what they are, stop fighting them, rest up, and ask for the help I've needed.  It's made a huge difference.  I don't find asking for help very easy.  I naturally tend towards stoicism and radical independence.  I've learned this week that letting someone help you is giving that person an opportunity to demonstrate how much they love you.  I didn't understand this until this week when friends and family rallied round.  I am very grateful for the love and help I've been given this week.  Thank you.

And a huge thank you for all the beautiful words that you left for me in the comments section, after I wrote my last post.  Each and every one of your comments touched me, and helped me get my titter back.  I wasn't expecting that kind of reponse, and am very grateful for your kindness, support and friendship.

So, for now, I'm taking things easy, saying boo to the blue (Thanks Jenny!), resting up, and being very gentle with myself. I'll be back this week with a gorgeous blog post from Coco Rose who is sharing her sparkle.

Now that's something to smile about.
