I am the type of person
who wakes up at 5 a.m. at the latest no matter what time I go to bed. This has been the case for years. This week I had a migraine lurking just below
the surface and was severe enough that I had auras. Periodic flashes of light I don’t like to take my medication, Imitrex,
because the side effects are nearly as bad as the migraine.Exhausted, I went to bed last night at 9 pm and woke up at 10
am without the lurking migraine. I hadn’t slept this deeply and this long for
years. I was able to do my Hatha yoga
then had brunch with a dear friend I hadn’t seen in a few weeks. When I came home, I read for several hours
and then watched a PBS special “The Homefront” which focused upon veterans and
their families who are impacted by the absence of their loved one who is called
to serve a tour overseas.
It was a calm, quiet, low key day. My favorite type of day. A wonderful day.
