Sometimes it’s hard to keep your spirits up. I’m fortunate, and I know it. The things that are going wrong in my life right now are not huge or life-altering. But it’s like a steady drip… in itself, what is a drop? But drop after drop after drop after drop eventually becomes a bit overwhelming. That’s where I’ve been… in that “overwhelm”. I finally FINALLY got a good night’s sleep last night… first time in weeks that I wasn’t awoken by pain. I hadn’t realized the level of exhaustion that was lurking behind my day… how I’d surrendered to those feelings of, well not hopelessness but definitely something not life-affirming. That constant low-level pain with flashes of greater intensity is so draining, so demoralizing, and just so sneaky that you don’t realize how it’s invaded EVERYTHING, especially when your mobility is curtailed so all of your activities are “on hold”. I miss that daily mile-long walk with my dog way more than I’ve realized; we can now make it to the end of the street, but that’s not even a quarter of the way. I wasn’t even reading (and I read about a book a week!), and I just devoured a fabulous novel in two days. Hopefully now things have shifted from maintaining a low status quo to a slow but steady climb back to a more pain-free and more active lifestyle. I know my dog will be happy when we can get back into our routine, and that will open the way for me to resume my other activities. All such minor things, but I will be so glad to turn off (or at least slow down) that drip, drip, drip of pain and confinement. Well enough moaning about poor little me… it’s the weekend, isn’t it, and that means one thing… SHOPPING THERAPY!!!! Checks my linden balance… and I’m off! Happy shopping!
