And breathe...

Yesterday I felt rough. Something I ate I think. And accumulated tiredness that weakened the defenses. So I took time out just to stop, rest and be for a while.

And I'm so glad I did. Because today's been one of those unexpectedly happy days full of people, good chats, making things, sharing food, learning khmer and laughing. And it's been good to have enjoyed it all and been fully with it.

Unlike the night before last when I kept having that strange out-of-body experience of hearing myself talking but not quite recognising the voice. And I'd only been drinking tea.

I guess it's to do with being a gregarious introvert. I get easily peopled out and don't always realise it. So I need days like yesterday to fully appreciate days like today. And to remember what it is to breathe again.
