New Breath

I'm working my way through a flare up and it tends to really have an impact on not just my physical body but my emotional health as well.  Some of the beautiful people in my life made something for me to put over my bed - it means 'New Breath' in the language of my people and just seeing it brightens my spirit.  I also managed a hobble out to the mail box to get some fresh air and try to stretch my legs out a bit.  I have been told the most important thing I can be doing in preparation for a huge surgery like a triple organ transplant is to maintain my health, do something active every day and focus on getting strong to make my recovery easier to get through.  Staying focused, even on the hard days!
