Cure?
MERRY CHRISTMAS
TO ALL MY FRIENDS @ ‘EZCEMAPSORIASIS’
I have just sold my house - where I have lived in the peace and quiet of
the
gorgeous English countryside for 45 years. Just as I was on the pint of
buying another one four miles away, - I had the idea of putting all my
ossession into storage and going off round the world. When I come back I will
not
have a home - it sounds a bit mad but I thought that maybe I should free up and
take a few risks.
In the last few weeks my skin condition has almost gone away - there is
only one little patch on my foot to remind me. If anxiety causes it then I
should have a flare up in the next few weeks when the van come to take my stuff
and all I am left with is a rucksack and a Collie dog called Polly!
I am 70 but I do not intend to spend the last years of my life living in
cosy retirement. I am starting off with Australia’s Great Barrier Reef in
February.
I wish I knew which of the various therapies helped to cure my psoriassis.
Was it the Acupuncture? The fasting and losing of 20 lbs?
Was it the Chinese herbs? the Ashtangar Yoga?
Or that nasty little tube of mild steriod cream that the doctor gave me?
If I knew I would tell you.
My heart has gone out to those of you who have shared your pain and
anxiety on this site. Alas! There seems to have been a great falling off
of postings lately.
Why?
It is nice to have Ivor back and I am sure we all hope that he makes a
complete recovery from his accident. I did not buy his cream, but as my daughter
has
excema in her only good ear - I think I might try it for her.
We used to have a Review every now and again - and there used not to be
any Spam. What has gone wrong? I do hope that I have not been responsible for
the falling off by the mention of s-x a little while ago! Shock horror.
Since my recent 70th Birthday party I took stock of my life and looked
back to see what I would have done differently. I did a lot of things really
well but at the cost of my personal freedom. I wish that I had given
eye-contact personal attention to at least three people in my life who are now
dead
- and cherished them more. I wish that I had not left it until this age to
buy good underwear! - you may think this is funny but I think that it is good
indicator of self-esteem. I wish that I had gone
up to the school and sorted out problems with the Head Teacher instead of
thinking that it would all work out in the end. I wish that I had spent more
time sailing and less washing dishes ! More time realising that I have the
power to stop feeling a victim any moment I choose. I have done that now.
I hope you all have a great time this Christmas and ever after.
All my love , Jan

I am a latecomer to this group but your mail touched my heart and I thought I
will write a few lines to you.
Why we should think about the past - it is gone from our hands and there are
many beautiful things in this world which we can look at and enjoy for the rest
of life. But you reminiscence about the past touched my heart.
I just wish that you had given a detailed description of what you have done to
get out from your illness, we would all have been happy and it would have helped
some of us.
Anyway, good luck to you and may God bless you to live more and help people like
us with your good words.
Merry Christmas to you and all your relatives

Dear Ali
It was nice of you to take the trouble to say how much you
appreciated my posting Re: Looking back on my life! You are obviously a nice,
open-hearted person — and that is important…to Open Our Hearts.
Love and thanks

Jan, I think it is so wonderful that you are going off on an adventure.
That is the kind of thing that I would like to do someday. I wish you well
in your journey’s. God Bless!

Wow Jan, thanks for the update and for the words of
wisdom — they are much appreciated!!
Congratulations and I hope you have a wonderful
adventure. It sounds like you are doing all the right
things and are on a great road. I love that you are
putting all your stuff into storage to travel and
don’t technically have a home to return to. I did that
a few years ago and everything turned out great (I
landed in another town and made a trip to get my stuff
from storage).
If you pass through Southern Oregon you are more than
welcome to stay at my house.
I hope we get the opportunity to hear about your
travels some day.
Merry Christmas, happy holidays, happy trails!!
Namaste - honor the light within (which sounds like
you are doing),
