Well I could start with a low that I have a croaky throat and cough that could bring up a lung. I've been getting heavy hints all day to step in and take over a situation when all I want is a rest. That is not what this challenge prompt means though, I don't think so at least. The cough medicine I'm taking has one hell of a kick so I'm probably at the point where I don't really care!
So, start with the Eeyore moments -
The lows were the amount of times I felt I was looking back at things I cannot change. It almost felt like a pity party. There is no way to change the past and I have a bad habit sometimes of dwelling there and becoming all morose by over thinking all those mistakes and missed opportunities.
Perhaps it's a good thing to get it all out, to stop constant "whatiffery". A good bellyache and done. Eh, yeah, we'll go with that.
As for the highs, well having written more through this than I have for a while it's beginning good habits I won't allow to lapse. I've written other pieces, not online, which may lead somewhere or just serve as sketching for the bigger picture.
It's also made me think, reassess, look at where I am. For the past few years it's been all about the ME/CFS, the coping, the understanding, the frustrations. There isn't much I can do about it but I can't let it win, even the days where getting out of bed feels monumental I can't.
And now I'm waffling.
That's never going to stop. The waffling.
But I feel like this...
...even if I couldn't possibly hold that pose for long!
