Today was a great day. I got to go into the garden and dig the soil, listen to the birds in the area, smell the soil and just feel alive and content. I've spent the last 9 months working towards this goal after what was the biggest health scare I've ever had. It wasn't easy to dig, but it was satisfying nonetheless.
Listening to the hawk in the distance and the lovely songs of nearby smaller birds was the medicine I needed. Tired, but oh so content 😁

I’m trying to remember the word, for losing the ability to feel joy, a-something, anhedonia, like the inability to hedonize, be hedonistic, enjoy things? Is that what’s going on, that’s classic trauma and depression and the treatment would be for that.

Or is it really only output, work?
I guess I think of it all together for myself, if I’m writing I’m happy, I can’t touch the guitar if I’m not somehow momentarily happy.
Sorry, feels intrusive. 💜

Feeling especially busted up this week. I have stitches in two places from punch biopsies, my shoulder and arm are a mess, and I haven't been getting enough sleep because of it all. Also, major brain fog and lack of energy. I went to the gym today, anyway. Managed to do lots of leg stuff, because they are working right, at least. #ChronicPain #FitAfter50 #recovery
