Today

There is some sort of energy in the wind today. I feel it in the lack of pain in my bones, in the suppleness of my muscles.

For the first time in a very long time I have enough energy to do a few big jobs around the house, which is a very good thing for the house.

It is almost like I use to feel when I was in my twenties. Sunshine breaks forth in song and even rain sparkles with beauty and hope.

It takes much longer than it used to, but I am learning to pace myself, grateful for being able to take the walk and not needing to run or prove myself in any other way.

Chauncey stares at me with his little head tipped to one side then wags his tail and skips along behind me. He doesn't know who this woman singing at the top of her lungs is, but he likes her!
