Today, I am not feeling particularly well. I’ve been bone cold for two or three days–cold from the inside. I don’t have my usual energy; I only worked out on the elliptical for ten minutes yesterday.
I’m not going to exercise today–other than the ten-minute walk that my husband and I took with our dog, Emma.
All there is, is to welcome this–whatever this is. I could come up with a story that I’m under the weather because I radically changed my diet three days ago, and I’m surely detoxing. But I have no idea if that is true or not, and it doesn’t matter. I welcome what is, and be kind to the body, snuggle it down early to bed under the warm comforter.

My impulse is to advise getting in the hot tub, then getting into the bed. It is, after all hibernation season.
And that’s what I did! Happy New Year, Ayesha. Thanks for commenting.
I am often struck that perhaps the greatest blessing is accepting whatever is happening as just that, a blessing.
And you said it better than I! Nice to have you here, Wali.
