Good morning! May love and laughter find you! It’s a sunny morning here. I have my quiet and some coffee, a warm light sweater against the coolness of a bright but chilly fall day.

It feels good to feel better. Part of feeling better is understanding what one is experiencing I feel. I was having sharp pain upon sitting or when one goes to lay down, in addition to when breathing in deeply. An eight-hour visit to the ER, a CT scan, then more antibiotics and learning that muscle and nerves continue to “wake up” later on after surgery. My surgeon says I am healing extremely well otherwise. I feel a lot more empathy for others who have had surgery or will now. This takes time. Feeling tired creates a willingness to have patience. Just letting things happen as they can. Yet looking for what one can do.

I have pulled paper to do art. One paper is a drawing of Clementis from my Bar Mills home with Thomas. Another a blank sheet. I am thinking of a landscape or still life. It feels good to work on a drawing, its been too long!

I am thinking of setting up my granddaughter’s bedroom as a studio as there is wonderful light all day. A decision made. A claiming of my new space. I will leave my desk here and set up a sitting area that I may write, create slides, watch movies, documentaries on my computer. Got to love the versatility of a computer. And I will leave my music here as well. Reading or listening to audio books can happen anywhere.

On with the day! I must find something to eat. Best wishes! Pejj
