Been shaking a lot. Cool weather seems to have triggered heavy symptoms. I'm having trouble getting still despite all of the "tricks" I know. Been wrapped up and sitting close to heaters, but tremors persist.

Last night, I had a short spell of quiet, which I had been praying for all day. It was like an oasis--a sweet stillness that let me relax and let go of some tension. I used the respite to climb into bed and read for a while. Shaking came back as I went to sleep, quieted enough for me to slip under, but was back this morning. I moved about today and that seemed to hold off the shaking to some extent. Came back from lunch (hot soup) and slept for a spell--woke up to shaking. Intensity of the tremor is more pronounced than it has been--reminds me of the intense shaking I was doing two years ago when I started working on recovery. Hmmmmm!

Dreamed last night that I was at a play or movie. As we left, an actor walked across our path. He was like a reprise of a theme from the performance--something about continuing to go on despite the difficulties. I started to cry and was moved by what it triggered in me.

I checked on taking the train over to Sacramento for Xmas dinner with my daughter's grandmother's family. It would make for a long day--I'd have to leave around 7am and come back early--there are limited trains that day (Sunday 23rd). Also, I'd need to be picked up on that end and returned later that afternoon. Looks like a lot of effort although it would be nice to see everyone.

Meanwhile, it's shake and bake for me! Have an acupressure session in the morrow and a session with Rebecca on Friday. Let the good times roll!
