Watermelon
Today I ate the first watermelon of the year. It’s summer officially for me. Obviously I didn’t eat a whole watermelon, I started with a slice.
I must say that I am not a lover of watermelon, but this morning I couldn’t resist during the weekly trip to the fruit market. It was nice and inviting, maybe it was the low sugar or the heat. In short, it was love at first sight, love at sight and tasting to follow.
I associate the watermelon with the beach, in the heat, in the summer. At dinners out in the countryside where you either eat ice cream or eat watermelon. In short, it is a fruit that gives, at least to me, positive thoughts.
Then there is also the coconut, and that is really beach .. that is, you want to put “coccooo bellooo”. But the coconut is impractical, it takes effort to open it. They taught me that the trick is to insert the knife into one of those three circles on one side and it immediately opens in half. Obviously I never managed to get the right one right on the first try, I’ve always been confused. As a Sordamaldestra I have to say that it’s not like she can do everything.
However, going to the market this morning did me good, returning to old habits, buying things, being able to talk and understand, unfortunately with the help, having the lip masks is impractical.
But I must say that when I spoke and said “sorry you know, but I’m half deaf” (to say just deaf seemed excessive to me) I felt like laughing and I was very calm.
In short, my philosophy of faith with spirit is making its way, making me forget the pain and sadness, and above all making me find a bit of emotional tranquility.
Being able to do the things before, the things that for everyone are as trivial as buying fruit at the market, are enormous steps for me, and I was amazed at how she managed this morning. In the end it is like riding a bicycle.
Also I have decided that I will be fine, I will not be sick anymore. So my rare autoimmune disease is forewarned.
Next step the coconut.
