I got an acupressure (Qigong) massage today. It helped me settle into my body versus the floating feelings I've been experiencing. He works with the channels, takes the several pulses at each wrist, looks at my tongue, and works the muscles, joints, and body really well.

I came home really hungry, ate a bowl of rice and lentil stew, and then went for my walk. Walk felt good after the massage and eating. Tremor has been quiet for most of the day.

I awoke with a tightened jaw (ear, neck, teeth). I think I may have slept with my jaw clenched last night. Anyway, it was really noticeable when I got up. When I went for the massage, he asked if there were any trouble spots. I mentioned my jaw (or whatever was tight and not flexible). He did some release work on the channels in that area. By the end of the session, the area was looser. Now, it feels completely released. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

As the afternoon came on, I found myself feeling sad and despondent. It had to do with thoughts of the whole last year and the one coming with me still struggling to be recovered. I grow weary of the battle (as I've done so several times along the way). I sat and meditated for a time, did my afternoon exercises, and feel better now. The waves of darkness come and go, ebb and flow! As does the waves of light!

Cold weather making itself felt tonight and into the weekend. Temps will be below freezing in some places. Sunny by day and icy by night! Keeping the heaters working--let the warm times roll!
