Reading a lot of poetry is restorative for me. It reminds me of the power of language: to express, to explore, to communicate, to enchant.
Josh went back to work this past week. But before that, we decided to try a trampoline park! We had a great time jumping on the trampolines and into the pits of foam. We had an hour, and we were pretty tired by that point. I got quite a workout. Jumping on a trampoline used to be so easy!
I watched The Hours with Bruce at last. The cast is packed with talent. It's based on a great book of the same name. Going back and watching old favorite movies restores me, especially when I can share them.
And I talked to my brother on the phone for an hour! That felt great. He told me about a book, a movie, and a video game I need to explore. I think we'll always exchange those kinds of coping strategies. Shared illness has given us another kind of bond, which we can restore often.
Inspiring lists, sparkling reads, and quirky musings from a writer~reader~wife~mama~advocate who wants to seek, create, and savor life's sweet bits.
