The meadow at Al Sabo is now green with spring growth.
Not much new here. I'm almost to full strength on my headache medication. Yes, I have been working up since February, 10 mg a week with a break in the middle. I guess when you are dealing with the brain you need to be conservative for some reason - go figure. I look forward to my patience being rewarded when the medication kicks in sometime in the next month or two. Relief from the headaches that are still a part of my daily life is overdue in my humble opinion! As my wise mother used to say, "Enough is enough, and I've had enough".
I am loving life though, considering the alternative. I am taking each day at a time. I am getting out for a walk most days. Some days are good, and some we just won't talk about. I think I have finally figured out how to slow down. While it is true that I didn't exactly get a vote in the matter, I am learning to appreciate slowness. I don't think I have ever in my life done anything slowly. I didn't realize it was an option, but I am finding that there is something to be said for it.
I wasn't able to make it over to visit Kendra in France, but we talk regularly. She is currently living in a bookstore in Paris for a week or so (by Notre Dame). She sleeps between the Art and History sections of books. She has to be up by 10, when the store opens. In exchange, she volunteers for a couple hours a day, stocking books and talking to customers. How's that for an adventurous and CHEAP life? She is loving it. She will come home May 28. I wonder if I should put a couple of bookshelves in her room to make her feel like she's back in Paris?
