Remembering …



It’s true, sometimes I forget what my body can do if I have been lost in the virtual world of 3D avatars.  Sure, I can occasionally still pull off doing the splits on the odd soul train line after the dinner dishes are done.  But I have to remind myself that I can’t pop-it-lock-it-drop-it with my 14 year old while singing Fire Burnin‘.  Though I suspect I’ll keep trying every now and Zen as we both laugh and I feel this body push as far as it can in all its glorious dysfunction.

Today was one of those hard POTS days, when standing at the bathroom mirror brushing my teeth set off a full on flare that took at least an hour to quiet down.  Certainly, no dancing today … and not much of a chance to get out and enjoy the amazing SoCal spring sun.  But I did manage to get to the park, even if only for 20 minutes.  And when I spotted a tire swing from the corner of my eye … I thought “I can do that!”  It just feels so good to do such simple things, especially when much of the day is spent simply remembering how it use to feel.
