... and the house, then where do you go with horse, and return to nice house? I see my physical beingness as the horse. And my mental as the rider. The goal, or direction we're riding in is my spiritual aspect of being, for this metaphor.
I'm feeling particularly good about my physical health today. This is the 4th anniversary of my heart attack and receiving a stent on my LAD of my heart. And I am incredibly grateful for the care I received from Mission Hospital staff at that time, when COVID had just begun to be the treatment nightmare that it was for so many. Very glad to have had these last 4 years of life also!
I woke this morning without groaning aches, though my limbs were stiff still. A good night's sleep, as far as I can remember. Not the 4 o'clock hours of tossing and turning at least! After the physical review (annual for insurance) and doing some real back muscle work at Pys. Therapy, I am thrilled to not have sore shoulders either. So all things a plus.
And a big plus of my putting away clean dishes this morning, which usually sit in the drainer till I use them.
So I cooked a really good lunch yesterday, because the lunch program was closed for a GOP runoff election. I'll share some pics of what I put together. But later at dinner I only had a chocolate shake protein drink, and some nuts. I think the big meal being digested earlier in the day may have helped my sleep.
...that Oldsmobile Cutlass is a looker!
ReplyDeleteAn interesting analogy. Well done on feeling and sleeping better.
ReplyDeleteTHanks...I'm pretty exhausted from the exercise at 11 am, but now at 6-9 pm I'm going into the studio and finish glazing the last dragon.
DeleteCongratulations on this anniversary of a very scary event. Glad to have you around and look forward to more years of your blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm a bit amazed to think I almost died. What all wonderful that has happened to me since then, just leaves me awestruck. Very grateful.
DeleteCongratulations on the anniversary! Your meal looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I seldom have been cooking, so kitchen cleanup was part of the process...and I feel so good to have my own leftovers! I look forward to each day, for as long as I have them.
DeleteYour joy is contagious. Thank you for sharing this wisely grateful post.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome!
DeleteHas it really been four years already so soon? Glad you are upbeat about your present circumstances.
ReplyDeleteIt feels like a lot longer than 4 years to me.
DeleteAny day I wake up without pain is a big plus! My body is finally adapting to my gardening daily. It always takes awhile every Spring. Your lunch looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteMy body is working hard these days, and I really appreciate that I have a good trainer.
DeleteI wonder if you recommend the Tasty Bite products? I checked them out on Amazon plus, it looks like my Walmart may have some of the products! I am doing the Mediterranean meals and I think these products would fit into that diet quite nicely!
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed most of those Indian meals. Hope you like them.
DeleteGood for you! 4 years...
ReplyDeleteThere are so many things that get wrong! I was at the dentist, and realized even my teeth look old!
Oh mine sure do too. I don't think there's a bit of enamel left on them.
DeleteI did not know about your heart attack! What a scary experience.
ReplyDeleteThe lunch looks so good. My husband is allergic to shellfish so I never have any in the house, but I do love shrimp.
