To Travel or Not To Travel?

Friends are talking about summer plans for travel. It’s that time of the year. Ric and I exchange knowing glances. Travel is likely not in our future.

The Winter seems to have taken a toll on my mobility. I’ve been doing restorative yoga, and taking small walks to encourage my legs but every effort is only rewarded with further pain and resistance. I can’t imagine the added toll of being away from home where accessibility is a question mark.

So, we talk about past adventures and dream about where we might have gone.

The thing I do know about life, is it’s always full of surprises. Won’t put away the suitcases quite yet. At the very least, I can still dream.

Permission to write, paint, and imagine are the gifts I gave myself when chronic illness hit - a fair exchange: being for doing. Relevance is an attitude. Humour essential.

  1. It’s hard when your body (or like me – in my mind) sets limits your heart hasn’t agreed to yet. But I love that you’re still holding onto possibility, even if it looks different right now. Sometimes the smallest walks and quiet routines become their own kind of journey.
