I thought I had the words. Thought I had the stamina. But my energy is low. My mind is blank. Yet, it is racing. Thoughts are flowing. But the thoughts might as well have wings. My eyes are drooping. My fingers are not nimble. Yet, I really had […]
What are you good at? Last year, I had a pretty bad birthday month getting Covid, bronchitis, and extreme work pressure. I thought surely this year’s birthday month of May had to be better. Well, the year of 2023 said “hold my beer.” This year has been brutal […]
