This morning I woke and my heart was trembling.

Palpatations are something I have become accustomed to this last year. One of the consequences of the mold poisoning I experienced now more than 6 years ago is a heartbeat that often shows some irregularity, or so I have been told. Maybe heartache was the culprit. Maybe both.

There is a beautiful saying I hear many years ago that I have held onto as a guidepost for my life when I meet challenges that are difficult to confront.

I met with a friend today who is navigating a very difficult time in his life. He is having to confront many of his inner demons, behaviour and choices made over the years that have led to outcomes that are proving challenging in numerous ways.

This morning I was on my regular early morning walk ruminating over the frustration I felt at my youngest for 'not listening' to me and swimming in a freezing cold pool a couple of nights ago, then eating 3 pieces of cheesecake - despite the fact that he had a sore throat the day before.
