Was worn out today and I haven't even started the energy sapping radiotherapy. So I stayed on the settee for most of the day and slept. I must have needed it . I often forget that I'm allowed to be tired sometimes. After all Im on my own with the boys and my body has been through quite a bit since my diagnosis last May.
This afternoon I roused myself and went out for a walk. This is a new walk I've found and this wood and the river are only five minutes from my house. Had some ideas for poems as I walked. The light this afternoon was just perfect. Milky, with a hint of summer somewhere in it, making everything sepia. I stopped and looked and breathed it in. Never had time to do that before this happened. As I said, I'm grateful for illness.
