Where did the time go? Holy Cow! I probably need to keep a better record of things. But what is in the past is a done deal, and all we have is today with a hope that there is a tomorrow. I think Styx had some lyrics along those lines.
It seems to be the best and the worst of times - another Styx song. No idea why I’m channeling Styx this evening. I am feeling a bit philosophical which probably has something to do with being a hermit. Things get weird , and they get weird real fast.
I am not sure what I wrote in the previous updates. I could go back an read them, but I prefer to just focus on today and tomorrow. But I do recall having some very strange and disabling issues regarding my health. But it has come down to just accepting that during the difficult periods that things don’t get done, and the focus is on getting back to “normal” which is never guaranteed, of course.
The one disabling thing I dealt with was severe arthritis, or whatever was going on. I have heard cancer patients talk about bone pain, and that is how I would describe it. It’s the kind of pain that just sucks the life out of you, although I pushed myself and never allowed myself to be laid up in bed. But it was an awakening that some pain is much worse than other pain. This is the type of pain, if chronic, would be unbearable over time.
But fortunately, things got better. I never allow the pain to stop me in my tracks. I still kept my workout and running schedule at the same intensity. But I did find myself slowing down the pace of productivity in that I just accepted whatever I could get done as good enough - and in fact, I was grateful to get anything done.
