Ta-dah!

After choir rehearsal last night, I struggled with going to work this morning. Several times I decided not to go, only to change my mind.

In the end, what made me go was the determination to complete one entire week of half days in the building. I wanted to be able to say that I have officially completed one entire week during which I was physically IN the library for a half day, even if I had to go home and take naps each afternoon!

How encouraging it is to be able to measure in concrete ways the progress of recovery. I have moved from barely able to walk the dog and shaky jello legs to moving about fairly freely without undue exhaustion, no shaky legs.

I celebrate these 'ta-dah' moments with great relish. Every milestone is worth marking. AND I am beginning to tolerate small lists and enjoy the satisfaction of crossing things off! Good thing, because in my office there will be piles of lists of things that need addressing. Life is good.
