WEEKENDING

Health is a large word. 
It embraces not the
 body only, but the
 mind and spirit as
 well;... and not
today's pain or
 pleasure alone,
but the whole
being and outlook
 of a [wo]man. 

~James H. West

This has been a weekend of
being kind to myself...

 ::long, slow walks with no regard
for time, just enjoying my surroundings


::considering revisiting this book

::having four inches cut from
my hair and having it styled for
the first time in years

::starting and ripping out a knit
project three times and not crying

:: loving coconut mango ice cream
oh my!

::going to sleep before nine each
night so at least I have had four
hours of sleep instead of the two
I usually have

:: trying not to be anxious as I
wait for a Monday phone call
concerning my health

:: asking if you wouldn't mind
sending a little prayer my way

::realizing this aging thing is hard,
but knowing I am strong.

Joining with Amanda for Weekending.
