have more to say, and that it matters more that I say it. Faced with the decision to do or to procrastinate, I’m hugely more likely to do. Since returning from the hospital (was that Friday or Saturday? It’s fuzzy), I’ve written, for example, more messages and more words than over several months, and with much more pleasure in the activity. I feel as if I have more to say, and that it matters more that I say it. Faced with the decision to do or to procrastinate, I’m hugely more likely to do. As a decision approaches, big or little, I no longer have to fight through a defense reaction of sleepy eyes, avoidance, and distraction. I told the doctors how I wear out much less rapidly at the computer screen and may now spend half as much time in naps. I’ve added a modicum of organizational improvement and clutter-reduction to the midden of my office work environment. Beyond telling you about all this, rejoicing in it, and giving thanks, I wonder whether we together can make this experience valuable for you. You’ve complained eloquently of avoidance behavior and attitudes you really don’t want to exhibit. Could yours have a physical/medical component to its origins, as we’ve begun to suspect mine may have had for a long time, without our awareness? A spiritual component? Would you like a blessing? Therapy? Changes to your medications? Shall we talk and pray together, with particular purpose? Love evermore, —🐻💓💋 |

There might be a physical component but don’t think we’ll pursue that until we know what yours cost. Don’t think I need a change of meds; was doing better at walking until winter came back, have thought about therapy but not pursued it more than thinking and have started reading the scriptures more regularly. And thinking positive thoughts more--at least, after noon! A blessing would be good… Hugs and love!! Valerie |

Let’s don’t delay what needs to be done (see? I’ve healed and maybe evolved!) for reasons of financial uncertainty. We have sufficient for our needs; if that requires calling on Jeff-the-egg-man, so be it. Is it morbid of me to observe that each day the Lord leaves us here reduces the residual mortal duration for which we must preserve a cushion? |
