Changing your mind

I give thanks for persuading some very biased binding to come round to my way of thinking and comply with my demands, and for meanwhile catching up with my favourite neighbourhood soap...there's plenty of plot recaps if you miss a bit getting on with your life!

I'd begun to wonder if maybe the fact that I'd only had two acupuncture sessions in the last six weeks might be a contributory factor in what seemed to be, even for me, an unreasonable amount of pain in my muscles and tendons and joints for the last half of that time, so I've been very grateful to be able to potter about my day today more comfortably. You might think this was due to Rachel's intervention but I just started to feel better for no obvious reason around a few hours before she arrived, and as she didn't have time to treat me and my next session is not til Thursday, who knows, maybe I'll feel even better after that! The one thing you can be certain of in life is that no matter whether you're enjoying a particular part or not, it will always change...

It was lovely to have a non needling catch up anyway and to have someone to cook and eat with - always a joy! I was grateful she enjoyed her first experience of our quirky choir, and that the lady I used to work with years ago was there so I could tell her about the bag of veg, as the place we worked together was the same one as the man who sent it me did.

I was also grateful for Rachel reminding me how much I changed after reading the book Why Kindness is Good For You and starting writing this blog...so that I can remind you to read it too! Then today I gave thanks for a clever cousin becoming involved in this project, for his sake as he's chuffed about it, but also for my own as I'd not heard about it before and now I have and am moved by the man and the images made of him. It's worth remembering you don't have to wait until you're formally told your life is running out to change the way you use what's left ;-)
