I’m tired today. Tired, dizzy, achey-headed, foggy-brained, and with an ear infection to boot! I’ve been working on a piece that I was excited to share with you, but it isn’t quite ready, and I don’t have the mental power to finish it today. Old Me would have attempted to power through anyway. New Me is learning to be gentler with myself. Rather than offering you my own writing this week, I’ll share a blessing from poet and philosopher John O’Donohue’s beautiful book, “To Bless the Space Between Us.” Don’t worry, you don’t need to be religious to find beauty (and yourself) in these words. It’s as if he penned them with long-haulers in mind.
I felt normal yesterday morning, had a silly argument with my husband then felt tired all afternoon. The virus is teaching me to accept and forgive myself for old hang ups ie career path and earning power. Life’s too short to waste time and energy on such things. Rest up Lisa and I hope you feel energy levels rising again soon.
This feels good to read. It eliminates the guilt I feel about not feeling great today. I drove to many appointments this week so I will willfully continue to reward myself with rest. You care take of you, too, Lisa. ♥️
I absolutely love this piece. It really spoke to me because this has been a very difficult week. Thank you for continuing to share your journey. Sending lots of healing energy your way Lisa.
