Hi , I hope you are able to get some rest. Bekind to yourself.

Dear Ruth ~ thanks so much for your kind words; they were like a healing balm to me. Today, I woke up feeling like I'd been run over by a truck, hurt all over, and you'd think by now I'd know the routine. If I feel good and do too much (even if it doesn't seem like too much), then I get a big crash and a basically lost day the day after. But I am going to try practicing my music a bit today. And you are right about being kind to myself ... when this happens, I tend to be really hard on myself, which, of course, doesn't help. Thanks again ~

Hi , I try to be kind to myself too. But so many

times I tell myself that I am just plain lazy, then I

remember that I have learned to slow down and that

does not mean I'm lazy. But then I don't have the

energy to do what I want or the motivation...

depression?? I don't know. I'm starting the yearly

round of doctors and fortunately have insurance and

I'm getting all new docs. So we will see what happens.

I know that since my foot surgery end of Dec, I have

been much worse off, but... oh well... you know how it

goes.
