I've been suffering with several problems of late and not feeling well. Extremely bad colds and flu bugs have been plaguing me. I seem to catch everything from everyone including the darling grandchildren. I've also had a painful back and what might be sciatica problem on the right side. Its quite bad at night and preventing me from getting good sleep along with the plugged nose and cold symptoms. Frequent urination and dehydration from the diabetes also affects sleep negatively. I always want to remind people I never had diabetes or any blood sugar problems prior to the pancreatic surgery. Alas, I never seem to know what is damage from the surgeries, cancer and/or normal aging. I try to remain up beat but sometimes when I stop doing yoga and walking because I don't feel good, then I also want a cookie or ice cream because I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself and thus you have the downward spiral.
As my birthday month of May approaches I will get back into exercising, eating better and spending time in my garden with our beautiful spring. I am constantly reminded of how much I have to be thankful for. Accepting everything as it is and still being grateful feels better than any other alternative. So I sleep, rest up, take care of myself and move forward. All will pass in time.....including all of us. With much love to all of you this spring season, may we all bloom where we're planted and enjoy new growth.
