Was it for the best?

It’s a curious thing: I’m now starting to wonder if the bike accident was the best thing that could have happened to me. Perhaps it knocked some sense into me. (grin) I want to say that I’ve come to many new ways of thinking, but that’s not entirely accurate. It’s more that the event created … Continue reading Was it for the best?

New ways are hard

It is so strange to walk outside and look up to see a good, clear section of the sky. Without my two trees, there is such a clear view. I feel like I’ve been pruning back dead branches and ripping out the trees of old, limiting beliefs that no longer serve me. I’m getting more … Continue reading New ways are hard

Records

Very often, I feel guilty about what I’m writing in my blog. I feel like I’m doing nothing but whining my life. Who wants to read about that? I really felt this way last December and January when I was writing about my first bout of COVID. However, this last week, I’ve been glad that … Continue reading Records

Half year reset

I am hoping we’re over the worst of it. I didn’t think I’d be saying that when I first woke up this morning because my head felt like a brick, but I’ve gotten a lot of sleep today and I’m starting to feel half human again. This second bout of COVID isn’t hitting me in … Continue reading Half year reset

Oh, no – Not again

I am beginning to think that my bicycle accident is the gift that keeps on giving. I went out to move one of my older cars so that the tree trimmers could get in today and it had a flat tire. The last place we drove it was to the new Urgent Care where they … Continue reading Oh, no – Not again

Close the loop

Short blog tonight. I have to be up early to meet the tree service people who are going to take down my beloved maple tree. I keep reminding myself that it needs to be done and my wind anxiety will go down immensely after this. As hard as it is, the tree has lived its … Continue reading Close the loop

Insanity doesn’t work

I did a session of writing this morning. Then I continued to upload audio to my new distributor since the whole Findaway Voices/ Spotify debacle. Still makes me growl that I have to do it, but it must be done. I also sat outside for a bit and even napped a couple of times today. … Continue reading Insanity doesn’t work

Strange day

Another day draws to an end. It is one that has left me with a strange feeling. I can’t say why exactly I have this sensation running through me, only that I do. I’ve been doing more reading today, and answering questions that were asked of me. My responses led me down one trail which … Continue reading Strange day

Humbled rest

The accident has caught up to me today, so I rested. Sitting hurts. Lying down hurts. So I kept trying to accomplish something in-between and just get comfortable. I managed to get some sleep too, though it wasn’t very deep. I did a lot of reading and I spent some time thinking about my publishing. … Continue reading Humbled rest

Bike aftermath

As imagined, I didn’t sleep real well last night after the bike accident. I slept okay for a couple hours then woke up in a lot of pain. And I was oh so lucky to have a cat sleeping on each side of me so I could barely move to roll over. It took me … Continue reading Bike aftermath
