Graves disease makes relaxing difficult. My mind races. I am prone to anxiety. My joints ache and kayaking, something I normally find very relaxing, is physically difficult. I'm not sure that my personality or my preferred activities is suited to wait I am suppose to be doing.

Most certainly the baked goods here in Maine do not make sticking to my anti-inflammatory diet very easy either. (These people can
BAKE up here. And that comes from someone who grew up in the heart of PA Dutch baked good heaven, ok?)
But I have managed to do some of the things on the proper road to recovery list as well. I've sketched, engaged in beach combing, tide pooling and cairn building, and just generally marveled at "God's handiwork". Come on Maine - work your magic.

ReplyDeleteThank you Laura…I am settling now. It just took me a while but that wasn't Maine's fault. Its amazing as always here.
DeleteMaine IS magic! (If you come to Islesford, and your joints are troublesome that day, you may use my golf cart to get around. )
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Barb! We're watching the weather and we'll give you several days heads up.
DeleteCool! Have a great 4th of July.
DeleteOh no!! Did I miss you again?
ReplyDeleteWe're here just until Saturday. This vacation was a bit of a humanitarian mission and I've been spending a lot of my time just staring at the ocean, watching the red squirrels and picking up stones…which has been great actually. I caught glimpses of "you" all over the place though! Bought soap at the market in Rockland and soap and perfume at Quench and saw you at The Good Supply too.
