Feeling Weepy

I’ve had the flu. Now that it’s getting better, I’m confronted with all the luck and love I’ve had in my life (there’s nothing like pain going away to make you feel grateful, and it just spreads out, like a happiness virus).

This flu was particularly about pain, the dull, aching sort in my bones and articulations that you can’t ignore, and nausea. On a one to ten scale, it was only about a three or four, but it was twenty-four hour for a day or so, keeping me awake at night and just continuing on and on. I’m so grateful not to live with chronic pain. I’ve met people who do, or who have a constant ringing in their ears, and I’m so lucky that this hasn’t happened to me (touching wood, my forehead, whatever else).

So I’m feeling weepy and grateful. I sent messages of love to my partner’s family, my sister, and I’ll try to phone my step-mom tonight.

I went for a walk and just sat on a sunny bench for a while, listening to the birds and insects, watching the clouds.

Came home, found Foro, and started to write. Sending best wishes everyone who reads this!
