Each of the many loving birthday wishes I received, yesterday, drew forth my quiet smile. Though my spirit is exhausted and my mind’s too weary to engage in conversation, I believe that, over time, my heartfelt desire to re-energize will refuel naturally unless I am harried to feel so hurried to heal the depths of my lethargy as to believe that my deepest need of rest remains unheard.
Thank you to all who choose to listen in depth in hopes of heeding my wearied spirit’s current need for restorative relaxation until my mental, emotional and physical energy have been naturally regained, as had been true of me three years ago, before my tardy diagnosis of a large tumor, gnawing away at my lung, struck everyone in my family utterly dumbfounded until reality rocked our communal sense of safety to the core.
As to how I feel, right now?
Well—having made my way through three years of physical misery, much of which proved too overwhelming to hold up my head, my spirit, maintaining its stronghold on positive focus, is currently within a state of cocooned exhaustion.
Having turned 78, I decided to gift myself with all of the time and patience that will prove necessary for me to recoup the mental, emotional and physical energy that has been thoroughly depleted. And here are two certainties of which I have no doubt—though the lengthy nature of this current recovery will lessen, with time, the one thing that will never lessen is my capacity to freely offer and eagerly absorb the healing nature of love❤️
And as I reflect over my spirit’s fully animated, personal history, let’s end today’s update with: This too shall pass. Annie
