Day 259 – Grayson’s Journey

Dear family and friends

Today was a quiet and low key day for Grayson. Compared to a full day of "normal" activity yesterday, today was a sleep-in-and-relax day for the man. He did sleep in (until 8:00) then when his afternoon residential assistant (RA) come on shift, he took a 30 minute nap. He got to work on his checklist at 4:00 then cleaned the bathroom, made dinner, did his therapeutic home program (THP), took out the trash, hung out for a bit at the rec center, then headed back to the apartment too brush teeth and get ready for bed. I spoke with him at 8:00 and he was in bed listening to an audio book.

Let's hear it for sleep-in-and-relax days!

Pax!

  1. Sometimes, there is a particular, peaceful beauty in "nothing to report," isn't there? Especially when "nothing unusual happened" is the best news you could receive?

    Peacefulness and quiet, especially within a storm, give one new insights into "necessary" and "normal," don't they?

    Let's all follow Grayson's lead, and before seven days have passed, let's all take a sleep-in-and-relax day! Sure, stuff won't get done--except the rebuilding of ourselves. Which, when it's necessary, is "stuff enough" to get done, is it not?

    Blessings!
