They say... writing is like exercise. One has to do it every day or most days to be effective. But after a long "holiday" or illness, stretching those muscles again can be quite painful.
After a few brilliant sunny days in Oslo and Stockholm, I'm back to dreary cloudy weather in Basel. When we landed on Sunday, the sun was out and it was warm and I could feel all the positive things and really was looking forward to summer. It seems to have dropped straight back into fall. Today, as my cold and aches and pains don't want to leave me, it hurts to walk it hurts to read it hurts to write.
I'll play my guitar later, that will soothe the beast a bit. Go window shopping. Find those last ingredients for tonight's supper. Maybe book tickets to a movie. Depending on how hubby feels. Which reminds me... we were supposed to touch base over lunch time... oops!
I do tend to take more time and, well, taking care of yourself is not an excuse! I want to read and reflect and rest when my body and my mind hurts like this. I can't think clearly nor do I want to.
Here are my five things I am grateful for today:
1. Peace and freedom to do what ever I want today
2. That I am healthy enough.
3. I am aware of where I am in the world and grateful to be alive
4. my husband
5. I am in control of my life and my emotions and all that I let in
So throw away the blah-ness of the day and let the sunshine in! Happy Weekend everybody!
