Wednesday’s A Taste of Flava
This Life Feels Great at the Moment

Good Morning ☀️

I slept really well last night, and my walking is feeling stronger this morning. I got up, took care of a few things, and now I’m back in bed, laying in the dark and enjoying the quiet.

You know, I see why my mother used to love getting up early to have that time to herself. It’s so calming. Before the house gets moving, before conversations begin… just having a little space to yourself.

I understand it now. 😊

On Monday, I was talking with Peggy, Dr. I’s surgery scheduler. She’s an older lady such as myself, and we got to talking about having to work until we’re 70.

There was something refreshing about that conversation. Two women at this stage of life who understood what the other was saying.

A seasoned sisterhood.

I tell you that because, more and more, I realize I absolutely do not miss work right now. 🤣

I care about the people I work with. But I am enjoying having my time to myself. I’m enjoying waking up without having to immediately get ready to be available to everyone else.

Right now, I get to pay attention to me.

How I slept. How I’m walking. What my body needs. Whether I want to get up or lay here a little longer in the quiet.

The last two days wore me out, but I felt accomplished. Last night, getting into bed, I could feel some muscle soreness. Hallelujah! 👏🤣 The discomfort I’m feeling is so doable compared to what I was living with before surgery.

And this morning, I can feel myself walking stronger.

Those things mean something to me.

For today, I’m grateful to be right here, with time to heal and room to enjoy my own company.

This life feels great at the moment.

And I’m going to enjoy it. 😊

Happy Wednesday!
