Being able to run errands by myself. It is nice to gain some independence back, even if that independence is limited to a 4 block radius.
Being able to walk 3/4 mile and go to 4 stores and come home with enough energy to disconnect from a feed and write this blog post.
Knowing that even though the walk will exhaust me, my nutrition is stable enough that I can rely on my energy returning after a day or so, with no long lasting impacts.
Being able to get David a treat for a change. This one is important because he will never say no when I ask him to get me something, and he is long overdue for some reciprocity.
Living in a place with enough single people that local bakeries make mini Irish Soda Breads. I love Irish soda bread, David is appropriately partial to Irish Brown Bread, so I have traditionally eaten the whole loaf myself. This year I can do that again, given 5 or so days.
Feeling good enough to go out when the weather is good. There have been a couple of super windy days this week when I would have gone out but for the weather. But today was a lovely, warm day.
Trusting my body when it tells me when that it is time to rest.
Happy St. Gertrude’s Day, have a good weekend, a Shabbat Shalom and a very happy birthday to a puppy who turns 3 today.
Happiness is …. hearing this news! 🙏🤸♀️✨️😘
