Phoenix Post
It's been a long time. Lack of posting is generally a sign that something has gone very wrong in my life. And fittingly, in 3 more days it will have been a year since I last posted to the site. Maybe I should have waited a few more days just to make things even.
The real issue has been my health and problems stemming from them. In this moment, I'm reminded of my dear friend up North. She made sure to prod me about the lack of text here. I didn't even know she was checking. And I didn't even think of it as being so important to friends of mine. (And I suppose by extension family.)
Now, you may be curious at this point. Perhaps, you wish me to elaborate on this health issue? Well, I've decided not to reveal the specifics. I'd rather say that I understand what people whom deal with chronic problems must be feeling like. You never can tell what someone is going through just by looking at them. I'll say that my stamina to carry even simple daily activities has been reduced enough to make getting up an issue.
Despite all of it I've still had a job to tend to and I'm thankful it's a job I can pull off from home.
Still, I'm willing to state that good things come from such experiences. I've learned to cook, fixed up my place and spent a great deal of the time I was stuck in bed learning physics and the mathematics that accompanies said physics. Still, the lesson I've learned is that your health is the platform for which all the rest of your life is built. It's worth spending the time each day to give it what it needs.
And I'm trying, I just hope it takes the hint that I need it back.
