The Morning After

Not too bad today. A bit wobbly, but able to get some email done and take a number of walks with Sugar. I finally made a meds list so I can track when I am taking these ten different drugs to manage symptoms. Makes me feel like I can shake, rattle and roll with the best of them!

Drew rearranged the living room to make conversation more comfortable and the space suddenly feels roomier. I like his sense of balance and flow. I remember when I was younger I rearranged rooms on a regular basis. Perhaps he finds this activity as satisfying as I used to. These days I am less into habitat and more into outreach. I have become content to just rest while I am home.

He did leave Sheila, my ivy plant, where she hangs in the front window. Sheila is flourishing and vining out nicely, a welcome oasis of green that makes the whole room seem to breathe easily. My chair now faces the door and I can see into the kitchen. It's amazing how a change in perspective can open up better vistas, cause you to connect better with people arriving, give better opportunity to truly communicate.

I'm glad Drew was so inspired. In fact, he moved from the living room to his bedroom and soon the beds were in a different corner, the rest of the stuff shifted here and there. Here's to improving perspectives - rah, rah. Now if he would get as inspired about his summer reading!
