The return of health!
i. am. not. coughing.
the last two mornings i've awakened, gotten up and wandered around for half the day before i coughed. then i simply coughed and got it over with....no frantic coughing, choking, trying to catch my breath. no embarrassing myself in public or private places with near apoplexy. sigh. finally. the absence of the cough feels amazingly good.
i finished reading a book today and walked to the library to return it. i didn't do anything fancy, didn't walk really really fast, didn't go over the pedestrian bridges, just walked there and back. it felt deliciously normal. i didn't cough, didn't get short of breath, just enjoyed the weather. it was a blue sky with a few floaty white clouds and the temp was 60. not all the snow is gone, but it is definitely leaving.
when i got home i sat down with a diet cherry coke to reflect on health, and noticed the sky getting GRAY.....the wind picking up and sudden rain splashing against the windows. some kind of rogue rain thing going through the cities and it took away the gorgeous day and the blue sky, but not till i had my walk. the rain lasted 35 or so minutes, the sky cleared and all was well except the temp was about 50. i didn't even care.
