It seems I have been under the weather for the past few weeks. Not sick, but a casualty of a fall. Always hurrying too fast, I fell down the 4 steps between the hallway and the dining room, taking the bannister I grabbed with me. In a total heap, I of course jumped up saying, "I'm all right, nothing broken" (thank heaven) But the next morning I found a lot of things that were bruised and sore. I must have really good bones, with all the falls I take they are still in tact.
But since then I have noticed that I'm more tired than usual, and some days feel "old" , at least older than before. I suppose that change has to come to everyone, and it has slowed me down, especially on stairs. In the end, Dee says my slowing down has helped him not feel so old, which is good. We should "be equally yoked" and all that, even in speed and pain.
It has given me time to just sit and ponder and meditate and read, all of which I love. And who knows? maybe it's just my turn to take life a bit slower. Things still hurt, but the bruises are mostly gone. I'm still tired. I can tell tht because I haven't even made my bed. I always used to make my bed first thing in the morning, but not lately. Just in case I want to get back in.
