Your life is your reality at this moment.  It changes as things in your life change.

I was a woman who had a bad hip; but was able to live her life relatively "normal". There were getting to be more and more restrictions and limitations; led by pain.

Now, I am on the other side of surgery. The surgery that I worked out for, the surgery that I lived carefully for, surgery that I needed to stay healthy for...the surgery was the goal.  

Goal accomplished.

I now have to set a new goal.

My past few days are a blur of moving from chair to couch to chair to couch to eventually bed. 

Sedative to say the least.

Pills and water, food and time.

Time to do what?

What to do from a chair or couch.

Can there be a better goal for the down time I am gifted?

I felt a bit better yesterday and decide to make a book.

A picture and word book for my granddaughter and I.

This brought me into a new space while sitting or lying down.

So my new goal will be to keep my mind entertained in exciting ways while sitting or lying down.

It is as if my new world has a crisper focus.

For a few days, I felt lost in the nothingness of sitting.

I had to remember to be creative.

I don't want this time to be just days and hours of space staring.

I have been given a respite from the daily tossing of mail.

The luxury of being home.

For days at a time.

The new me will be a woman in downtime mode.

Resting and recovering for future busy time.

My pain already is less.

My mind less foggy, due to less pain pills.

Apathy is replaced with things I can do sitting down.

A book of Grandma Beth and Sylvi seems like a fun place to start!
