Some of you will have noticed a lack of substantive content here for the last week or so. I've had company, and now must recover from the subsequent (unregretted) fatigue. This visitor is a friend "from before" -- before I was ill, the "I used to . . . " times: I used to be active, busy, career-focussed, high-energy; I used to swim a mile a day; I used to etc. . .
I am learning to leave this behind; I am learning to be in today. And this visit helped -- one of those friendships that, after years of separation, picks up as if we had lunch last week. One of those friendships that reminds me there is continuity, even through great change.
Hee. That was very enjoyable. Thank you! And now please excuse me while I go off to clean cat puke off the rug.
