Last night was rough. Illness is a regular vibe nowadays. I blame the post-Covid virus experienced a few years ago. As a retired nurse, it was always an awareness nature that builds enquiry and understanding. Viruses are little horrible tricksters with lots of patience. Chronic (long term) inflammation or trigger wake-up activity to other viruses can be a concern.
In general? Tiredness and extreme fatigue, brain fog, nerve jumps and aching joints are pretty much unwanted visitors at times. Very weird after decades of feeling very chipper. Hardly any days off from work. Or life.
Today? After last night’s rough experience, I thought I’d grab some music therapy. Just sit, play guitar and plinkety-plonk keyboard naivety and sing and record a few trial introductions to songs that are currently in the making. I chose a few tunes from a list. Ones with slow and gentle vibes. Alongside? Drank chamomile tea, ate rolled porridge oats with oat milk and homemade leek and potato soup. Didn’t want to challenge the body system too much!
It’s not great getting old. And, as a nurse, my immune system was always on high alert due to the daily contact with patients’ illnesses. Since retiring 5 and a half years ago? It’s gone to sleep for a well earned rest I reckon.
But hey! It’s soon to be the most wonderful time of the year. So everything is worth looking forward to.
After sending the four little trial songs to my email. I thought it may be nice visualising them. So. Spent a few hours dipping in and out of little video making tonight. Fun times. Not on YouTube, so uploaded here to WordPress directly.
