How I'm Feeling

Ancient.
Infirm.
Unable to concentrate.
Unable to get comfortable.
Unable to bathe without a chaperone.

Relieved.
Happy to have treatment underway.
Glad to have made it to class today.
Gladder to have made it home in one piece.

Weak.
Impatient.
Unable to write complete sentences.
Doubtful that I'll make tomorrow's deadline.
Astounded that I made today's.

Defiant.
Depressed.
Overwhelmed.
Hopeful.
Unrealistic.

Frustrated.
Overdue for a vacation.
Indebted to everyone.

Delinquent.
Muted.
Fuzzy-headed.
Overtired.
Uninspired.

Grateful.
Human.
Sub-human.
Semi-human.
Protozoan.

Unrecognizable.
Indefatigable.

All of the above.

Hear! Hear! Christine.
Wish I'd said it first but then I'm probably biased.

I wish I can write like you... I imagine the pure strength it takes to come up with a post as inspiring as the ones you write. How you manage to touch every soul who happens to read each of your piece -- to me that is a rare and amazing gift.

Good thoughts, good piece. I wish I could write like that.

You're always in my thoughts and prayers.

Love,

Ciel
