Chapter 1; 1/07/2019
Winter got your goat? Feeling low and logy? Constant Pain interfering with your work and play? I, for one feel down and out in dark skies, cold weather, (yes, cold even in SoCal)
My husband is a gem helping me through hard times; broken arm, hospital visit for dehydration, low pulse rate and low sodium. My decades long diet of no salt or sugar added, love of the vegetarian diet, drinking lots of water and my small stomach capacity has caught up with me. I practise the humor strategy laughing and smiling at all of this. It helps and I pursue my daily routines as best as I can with the patient aid of my beloved spouse. I also find that being with friends and groups of people to be a great remedy; and no fee, no hassle, this med is free and easily procured.
So, if the winter doldrums have set in for you, try a bit of this medicine. Just gather a little strength and seek out a friend, a gang, a hug and keep those lips in an upward position keep a sense of humor. You will gather warmth and solace and hear others tell of their travails that will seem more daunting and difficult than your own. Soak in a tub, watch a comedy, listen to music, podcasts, take a class, do a jig if able, do a good deed to help a friend, make a donation. I wish you well.
Chapter 2; 1/20/2019 Time heals all. After doctoring, some hard work on my and Paul’s part, and practising patience I am seeing an upward turn and some progress. The prolonged cold spell has dissipated, the golden sun has returned. (remember this is SoCal weather.) I empathize greatly with you all residing in the vast areas of climate change, regions of heavy storms and their formidable repercussions. I only hope we as a nation can return to saving this planet from the devastation that younger generations may face in years to come.
My spirits are high, I see my return to my energizer bunny lifestyle on the near horizon and my gratitude is at a high 10. One lesson learned earlier in life: the body does its best to heal the wounds, it just takes more time than we want to give it to meet our expectations. Again I wish you all well.
