Simple things ...like listening to music......being able to speak......prepare a simple meal. This week I have been able to some of these things. Not whenever I need or want to.... but some of the time.
Having been unable to do these things a lot of the time has made them a great gift when I can do them. Knowing that life is unpredictable and that these things might become undoable again, also increases their value. It takes a certain level of wellness to really be able to appreciate the small things and I have been too unwell to pay attention to anything much at all.
As awareness creeps back, I see with new eyes the simple things that I once upon a time took for granted.
