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.
