#being well

Being right is better than being fast.

the biggest difference between when Im well and unwell is how hard or easy things feel. Things feel easy right now. Even objectively hard things feel... easy to try for, you know. Like they aren’t easy things, but the effort it takes me to try is easy. I can look at this mountain and think “yep, thats a mountain, its gonna be difficult. Lets do this, I guess”. Which is just a world away from where I’ve been, and been for a long time. Making toast used to feel too hard sometimes. 

I just am really appreciating how easy things are feeling at the moment. Stuff that wouldn’t have been possible at all six months ago, I can do without much thought. Its just really nice to be well again. I really hope it lasts.

Also sidenote! I finally watched Wonder Woman and it cleansed my soul, cleared my skin, watered my crops and emptied me of the pain of losing a phone

My relationship with Sweet Matey in Australia taught me a lot.  It would be false to claim he didn’t come to mind through all the recent work on the van.  His mechanical knowledge was so sexy and comforting.  It was he who taught me that occasionally, you can supplement a long shanked tool, say a screw driver, in lieu of an oil filter wrench in a pinch.  I had to use this move the first time I was servicing the little five-speed Tacoma I had before the van, I like this photo for its representation of tenacity.  While tenacity can present as a quality an individual has, I’m thinking of it increasingly in a collaborative framework.  You know what a good fucking skill is, sourcing and accepting help. This little builder girl loves handling things herself, and each day that passes is another one that demonstrates she can’t do it all on her own.  Whether it’s changing my water pump, or being able to help with the Vegas renovation projects, or fill in the blank… I’m beginning to face that, and in so, improving my relationship with help, failure, and being well.
