Re-prioritizing...

Getting over a cold. It's a process. Slow. Step by step. Once you go down for the count, there is the slow revival. Every day, slightly better. You come to really value easy breathing and good feeling. There is a recalibration, and a re-think. What's important? What to do? How best to expend the little energy that is available to you? Then the worm turns slightly and every day it is about "Getting stronger." Like Rocky. Ha. 

This morning I am in my Bartelby the Scrivener mode: "I prefer not to." There is much to turn away from, to not listen to, to not worry about, to not engage with, and to not waste my attention upon. I think of healing, cleaning up, re-prioritizing. Getting back to basics: good food, restful sleep, excellent music, books, coffee. Taking care. Feeding the head, the heart, the spirit. Yes. Alive.
