debris4spike... Yes, I am pleased to report tha I am beginning to get my life on track..
Yes, I am still tired, yes I still have some disorientation ... but overall I know that I am beginning to be "me" again.
I have been going through some eeply personal things recently, that only one other person is aware of. However that's a story for the distant future ... but last week I relised that I still have unresolved sadness from family upsets in the past ... and I still struggle with the bullying I went through while I was at school. So, overall this weekend has been a bit of time of healing. No, things are not resolved ... nothing really has changed overall, but being aware that the pain is there is certainly the first step in healing. First steps are truly small, but important.
However realising what is happening, really helps me settle the chronic fatigue again .... I was able to use the lessons I have been taught a few years ago to begin to get my life back on track.
Can't say it's going to be the full answer, but at least I know what's happening ... so I am going for a "win"
As I wasn't working over the weekend, I managed to catch up with someone who I have known for 30 years. She and her husbnd used to be patients of mine and her husband died at about the same time. Since then we have met from time to time and spoke on the phone. We hadn't caught up for a long time, so I drove to Bude, the town I used to live in. It was lovely ... we had lunch, chatted, laughed, and chatted some more.
In actual fact I went the "long way round" to do some sightseeing, of which I will have photos to share at some point.
Seeing Kathy really did me good ... doing something for the day really did me good ... all in all a super day.
Actually on Sunday, at Church, the service was bout suffering ... so really helped my ongoing thoughts.
Now it's monday ... and I am at work later.
I have photos to share ... and questions to share ...
6. Would you rather go on a city break, a seaside holiday or have a staycation?
City break - as a sightseer there's more to do.
7. This week in Bristol in the UK is the National Balloon Fiesta, a time to celebrate hot air balloons which draws thousands of visitors each year. Have you ever been in a hot air balloon (or would you like to?).
No ... and no!!!! Would love to see the view, but don't like heights!!!
8. Do you own or rent your home?
Own
9. Boop-Oop-A-Doop! Everyone can get their ‘boop’ on because it’s time to enjoy and celebrate Betty Boop Day! Are you familiar with Betty Boop?
Yes - but only the basics.
10. Are your fingernails strong and in good condition? How long are they?
Pretty long, now - years of having to keep them short are over. I wear nail-varnish ... the only make-up I ever use.
11. Have you ever made a sandcastle on a beach?
Of course ... the last one was last year!
Right - photos to sort ... and to share, tomorrow!
