Goodnight friends! Trilling, beeping vocal acrobatics of blackbirds staking their claims on high boughs, the honey-thick droning of bumblebees below. A little warmer and clearer overall, sun-sharpened white crowns of towering, billowing cumulus clouds. Yellow pom-pon dandelions multiply along with spreading drifts of forget-me-nots.

I think my greater care for pacing is paying off with a more consistently maintainable level of low energy – I’m back to not exhausting myself sitting still, and I’m able to gradually build up a reserve. Judo felt much more manageable, and although with the damp nights my sleep isn’t improving, the dizziness is easier to manage.

May we find a sense of play and exploration in our lives today!
