Mapping Midlife

In English? I have a cold in my head.

I have a very peculiar and lingering head cold. My voice has been gone for more than a week, and it seems to have taken my hearing with it. My eyes are runny and I’m not seeing all that well.

It’s a bit like living in a cocoon. Everything is fuzzy and distant. The strange side effect of being sort of stuck in my head is that it’s getting me out of my head. When you feel like this, there’s not much left to do but to simply BE. No meetings, no writing, no listening to motivation, inspirational, or any other kind of tapes. Just being.

So, my tea and I are off to relax. It’s cold and snowy outside. I’ll be huddled up in a quilt taking very good care of myself. And, in the end, that’s a pretty good place to be.
