I have started thinking of this as my mañana blog. Hope springs eternal that tomorrow I will post here. Day after day, my thoughts randomly turn to this blog and my book, but there is too much else going on to give it any real attention. And so, I keep hoping for a new mañana.
I was diagnosed with celiac disease on March 23. I keep saying it over and over in different contexts, and I am finally starting to be able to write it without it feeling as if I am talking about another person and not myself.
I realize that my heavy dependence on au pairs over the years may have been in large part due to my then-undiagnosed issues relating to celiac (including fatigue that always seemed greater than I could account for). The good news is that, after some period of eliminating gluten from my diet, my body will repair.
Hasta mañana, some mañana, once a bit more of this is behind me and I’ve clearly charted my new course. Thanks for reading and sticking with me….
Practice the mountain pose. Day by day you will gain strength.
You were right, Mom, as usual!
