☕ Monday – A Sip of Flava

The Test Run

This morning feels different.

Not heavy.

Not anxious.

Just… aware.

I’m preparing to return to work — not full force, not all in — just to see how my body responds. A test run.

For the past two months, I’ve built a rhythm at home that honors my body. I move when I need to move. I sit when I need to sit. I adjust without asking permission. My workspace flows with me instead of against me.

That has been a gift.

Now I’m sitting here with my coffee, letting it warm my hands, mentally preparing for what today might feel like. I know I need to practice walking. I need to see how my legs respond. I need to be honest about what works and what doesn’t.

This isn’t about pushing.

It’s about observing.

It’s about listening.

It’s about respecting where I am — not where I used to be.

I’m grateful to have options.

Grateful that I don’t have to force anything.

Grateful that I can evaluate without judgment.

Today isn’t about proving strength.

It’s about gathering information.

And whatever I learn, I’ll honor it.
