Sunday, Sunday

the day is coming to a close now.  i'm good with that.  it's been a long day after a long night.  i don't think it would have been nearly as long if i weren't coming down with a legitimate cold for the first time in a while.  funny to put it that way.  as if what i'd been experiencing is an illegitimate cold.  but perhaps that's exactly what it's been, who knows?  i know my back hurts some now, but its higher up mostly.  i know i got some cold meds when i left my parent's house, and it knocked a lot of that shit right the hell back.  i know i'm going to take some nighttime flu cough and cold medicine after i finish my writing for the night, and i'm going to put on some meditation video and pass out for the night.  and tomorrow i'm going to try to start strong, God willing I should rise and the creek don't.

but today was okay.  it was long, but okay.  another day of waking earlier than i wanted to, but not a day of getting up and racing to the stairway.  a day of moving slow, eating well and not hurting as much.  making a big steak and putting half of it away for tomorrow.  a day of staying out of the way at the meeting, not getting involved in the membership doing what they needed to do to address some of the issues we'd been facing.  a day of resting, of cooking and thinking, of starting to make decisions on focus that can only help me stay on course longer.  and a day, finally, of being able to look back and see that it's been a pretty okay day.  Lonnie is doing relatively well, though his wife is banged up a bit, but she was the worse physically between the two to start with.  Syd seems to be okay, my mom was not too out of sorts and my dad was rolling, which is always a dangerous thing but he's got to learn in the way that is going to teach him what he needs to learn, right?  i will have to learn the same way, and have had to learn many things that way already. 

i'm going to get to work on my book for about an hour now.  and i thank my Heavenly Father for another day.
