  • There are buds on...

    ...the lilac bush. Tiny green furls promise lush leaves to come. The birdsong is bright and loud this morning.  All of the windows are open to the fresh air and warmth.  This sunshine is a blessing, regardless of how many dust moats are brought to attention amid the streaming rays.

    I am so glad to be home today. The weekend is welcome relief from the work week. Physical therapy was a bit taxing Thursday. I hurt all over yesterday in it's aftermath.  I don't think I helped myself with eating sugary cake brought in for Doctor's Day.  If  I eat sugar, my pain seems to be worse.  This reaffirms the need to again attack my diet.

    I spoke with someone dear to me this week about taking medicine to preserve health. How can I expect that person to better embrace self care when I myself falter at the things I most need to do?  All I can do is renew my efforts at self care and hope they find something to affirm that it's worth their effort to take care of themselves also.

    Going to spend time with Gert a little later this morning. Erik has a fireman funeral to attend, so I'm having him take me down to see her while he attends. I'll take my knitting and spend some pleasant time in her company.

    Blessings abound
