Hexagram 52. Stilling. Simplifying life's challenges.

[treehaven]

Multiple health issues, ageing dog friend's time to leave, lots of major homestead/garden chores, multiple information gathering tasks to get financial and medical records collected for upcoming job-related medical injuries lawsuit. I have been reluctant to do all the work of getting 12 years of medical records assembled and looked over for proof of injuries (toxic metals exposure). I just don't want to relive the unpleasantness and pain of the last 12 years which this chore stirs up. Just want it in the past. The fast is helping break the log jam on having the fortitude to face up to the traumatic years that have followed the job that ended twelve years ago: radical bone loss, skin cancer, severe neuropathy, etc. Just a litany of bummers. Yet, I'm thriving on my little garden homestead in the mountains of Tennessee USA. Just want to break free of that history. Seem to finally be finding help in keeping on point (a Community Action case worker from their Office on Ageing), plus my fasting and working on the problem seem to be moving the "mountain". Seems to be breaking up some kind of large resistance. After 32 days of fasting, medical/physical stats close to stats 25 years ago in basics. Just a lot older and a bit more beat up. Interesting, this living business. Huh? Old Beth
