It’s been a long hiatus. But somehow I’m allowing part of myself to resurface. I’m giving my 10-year-old website meetmarthajohnson.com an update. Or at at least I’m refurbishing a bit of it to accommodate what I would like to leave behind. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll start contributing a monthly blog…
After successfully battling sciatica which took months, I’m enjoying my daily swims at our pool and restarting a daily walk with the “up walker”. The miracles continue to amaze. I somehow lucked out and have been named “Author of the Month” at the Northampton Senior Center. On September 30 I’ll be sharing my Musings Along the Way, registration required.
Another one of my joys is Happier Valley Comedy, the Hadley Improv group. Haven’t been for about a year and it feels so good to deeply laugh uproariously at their silliness.
So…life goes on. The reflection, sorting, and tossing, is mostly satisfying, particularly when I discover things about which I’d forgotten . And, last month, my niece (sadly caught up in the USAID chaos) came up from the Cape to meet with my health care proxies…one more thing that gets crossed off the list.
.What’s “up” sometimes goes “down”, but always seem to come “up” again. Good to notice. I probably have something to do with that.
