I’d like to begin today’s post with a positive statement:
We’ve been grateful for desert temperatures cooler than usual for the first week in October.
On the other hand, my sister and brother-in-law flew home, yesterday. As you can imagine, they had a very hard time leaving their daughter, Jessica, who must feel very much alone with the depths of her grief, right now.
Though my heart is heavy, I’ve kept my spirit afloat, allowing myself the entire day, yesterday, to complete my morning routine followed by walking, back and forth, through our house. And here’s why the fulfillment of each of those goals serves as a personal achievement: The suppression of the weight of my grief has drained my energy, for sure, most especially as I continue to experience shortness of breath with very little exertion. Every little thing that I feel need to accomplish concerning my personal grooming routine takes more time to complete than I can believe. And most everything needs to be done sitting down. Including showering. To prevent my becoming light headed.
For some reason, I did not have to contend with sudden drops in my blood pressure, throughout the day, suggesting that I did not become disoriented, yesterday.
And now, having begun and ended this post with positive focus intact, that’s all I feel need to say as I arise to greet a brand new day ...
