Life is full of good and bad experiences but I seem to find the most pleasure from fleeting moments of each day. Sure I get frustrated a lot more than I should but every now and then "just a little is enough" to keep me going.

Early nightcap
I have a blood work appointment at 7:30 am so I'm fasting for 12 hours, wine for supper instead of the usual weekday glass over the last hour before bedtime. Had my physical two weeks ago, that went well as it was the first one I've had since getting a diagnosis of mild emphysema after last year's physical. I'd been experiencing an increasing shortness of breath for a couple or three years. Hadn't smoked in 30 years but the damage had been done. I'm dealing with it and expect to be around for a good long time yet. Already been doing the recommended treatment, no smoking (duh), eating right (more or less), getting plenty of exercise, keeping the weight down - some others things as well. I now keep an inhaler handy for when I get a little breathless feeling which can bring on some anxiety. Still keeping up with yard work, the occasional day hike, lunchtime walks. For the time being don't expect "just a little is enough" to become a medical diary, I've got other things on my mind.
