OT Doing Really Well

[HVAC]

My friend called me today and came and got me. We went to meet her new flock of Guinea Hens. This is her second group. The first group are all the big black Guinea Hens. The second group of 20 are all different colors Light Blue, Almost white, Brown, Gray, and Black, Brown and White. They are such characters.I think I do a series of paintings of them.

We then went out to eat and I ate my whole lunch and enjoyed it. I forgot what it is like to actually enjoy food.

Yesterday I went out to Tea at a friends as I do most weeks. I so enjoyed all the different ladies. Women who tell such amazing stories I am content on just listening. I have really been enjoying things in the last few days. My therapist said it was so good to see me smile and laugh on Thursday.

Someone gave me some brand new riding pants, mine are so large I can't keep them on. I am now thinking of riding and painting. I am working with Grady again. Two weeks ago I felt I would never want to eat, or paint, or ride Clara, or walk Grady. I was hiding from my husband and friends. I felt useless and hopeless.

Now I have so much hope. I still have a long way to go until I can ride and paint. I still have to gain weight. My friend who gave me the riding pants is tiny. I thought they will be snug. They were so loose I had lots of space to fill into them.

There are so many kind people in this world. Everyday I see amazing things like woodpeckers and little wild flowers. I enjoy hearing people tell a good story and laugh. I enjoy a good hug. I like to hear the details of my husbands day. I enjoy the amazing bread and butter pickles my friend canned this year. I enjoy the happy sounds children in my neighborhood make as they play. There are so many times I took these things for granted. Now I really live.

Hi Alex - I'm so happy you are feeling well enough to enjoy these experiences. I hope you can gain a bit of weight, get out of this pain, and enjoy even more days ahead like this.

Big hugs lady :)

I am so very happy that you are doing well, and enjoying life again.  Yes, there sure are so many WONDERFUL people and things to make our days brighter.  I know that I most love it when the sun shines, and reflects on the rain drops on the leaves.  I just somehow am in awe with that.  I love it.  

You keep up the good work, and we will continue praying for ya,

((HUGS))
