Day Ten plus Seven

Seven days on two tablets/day. GP appointment tomorrow to see how things are going.

My stomach rebels against too much caffeine, otherwise I seem to be fine, if rather "wired" and stressed out rather more than I expected.

Getting as much exercise as I can by walking into town and home again.

What emotional pangs did I notice today?

Had a strange dream this morning and felt sad thinking about it. Felt a bit flat after a good day out.


What went well today?
Getting up in the morning and getting myself ready for extra choir practice in the afternoon; the choir practice itself was hard but ultimately rewarding; had a surprise phone call from my Godfather (not a relative, my father's boyhood friend), who told me he still had a porcelain plate I painted for him back in 1966! Inscribed with a dedication and a sailboat, of all things. I remember doing that, and thinking that yes, I could manage a sailboat with its straight lines... I was really touched and moved that he has kept this over all these years, the dear man.

How can I make it happen more regularly?

Stick with it; be kinder than necessary even to those who treat you unkindly – they may be stuck in Sisyphos' boots...

What strengths have I focused on today?

Be attentive to others, give others a chance to speak but don't pipe down just because a few people shoot daggers each time you open your mouth. That's their problem.

At what point did I feel most authentically myself?
Walking into town, face turned into the smirr and the wind. Singing.
