Do you know anyone who isolates, and would rather stay home than go out? Even to the mailbox? I am sure we all have that friend or family member who is quite content to do just that. For myself, I can be perfectly happy just puttering around in my house, cleaning, cooking, and talking with family. Looking back several years ago, I was facing multiple back surgeries, and movement of any kind was miserable. What I would have given to flee the house at that time! It is good to have the choice. I think we need a good mixture of both in our lives, so that we can appreciate what we have. Some days are so good I even forget I am on the Spectrum. I have a choice, every day. I can push through, and past my comfort zones. I can do what my family believes is impossible for me. Or I can listen to what my body is telling me, and just take some time. Hold the space. Rest. Just be. The choice is yours. And it is perfectly okay, whichever one you choose, because it is your choice. Your life. You are loved. You are accepted. Until next time, Mamacitalucita
