"You desire to know the art
of living, my friend?
It is contained in one phrase:
make use of suffering."

Henri-Frédéric Amiel




My habit for years, as long as memory will recall has been to wake up, and first cravings for addiction kick in. my main one used to be for cigarettes, and would light before even leaving my bed, which for someone who back then had a habit of collapsing unconcious multiple times a day through seizures, was likely not the brightest thing to do, especially when drifting off to sleep is a trigger time for me, and the cig would often put me back to sleep, often almost before the cig was finished. A relative inisisted years ago, that a smoke alarm was fitted right outside my bedroom door. Hey ho. Someone up there likes me, and the near misses with almost everything I have had though this life, confirms this over and over again. God has proved His faithfulness in this respect time and time again.

But the addictions nowadayas, tho often the one for nicotine still hits, it isn't something i have to satisfy pronto, but coffee is. Nothing quite like the first coffee of the morning. And this morning, i drank almost organic coffee. I am trying to eliminate the number of toxins I take in, owing to porphyria being all about toxins, and the less one willingly takes in, the less there is to make one iller. Have eaten organic potatoes and carrots and soup in the last few days. Which five years ago, would have ROFL at anyone who faintly suggested I would ever do this. Have always made a joke out of my unhealthy lifestyle, been somewhat proud of it, tho, its also true, that some of the stuff that to other folks was unhealthy, suchas consuming three or four pounds of sugar per week, and excess caffeine intake, and high fat, high carb diet, have probably helped me keep me well longer than I would have been without them, as all the above are vital for porphyrics. Another aspect of God's hand upon my life, when I had no knowledge of what was good or bad in a real way, but just assumed it was bad cos everyone else said so, but I liked it so would have it anyway, the very things God gave me a taste for, are the very things I craved every day.


AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..Mmmmmmmmmm



Have not long finished my morning Jo. (hope that's the right term) Coffee. i drink mocha mostly, and had organic sugar in it. I like this cup, it holds over half a pint of fluid, and gives me a boost cos of the extra coffee that goes in it. So, I have had my boost, and now to start the day and entrust it to God. As evidence is everywhere, that even when we don't know He is there, helping us, (suchas described above) His hand is always on us.
