Changing course
I haven't been out in the rain all month, but this afternoon, on the way to a blood draw, we pulled onto the shoulder to snap these solstice sheep grazing in a light shower.
I'm more wobbly today than yesterday, but I'm also taking part in the real world - last minute Christmas preparations, enjoying reading cards and letters, visits from friends. It's been a difficult time since August 2011 when first symptoms developed, and I'm looking forward to resolving current health concerns and having another period of feeling well. My oncologist keeps reminding me that the body is always trying to repair itself. This time I am fully cooperative and can't wait to walk regularly (instead of hobble from room to room), eat tons of fruits and veggies (mashed potatoes are saving me now) and generally making healthy everything the law of my personal land.
I could take a lesson from these sheep: healthy beings walk, rain or shine!

Oh, sweet solstice sheep.... Thank you for pulling off the road and taking a picture to share.
ReplyDeleteI hope that little seasonal pleasures can at least sometimes eclipse some of the pain and unpleasantness.
Best wishes to you & your family for a happy holiday together!
Merry Christmas, Barb. Sending healing light and love for the New Year.
