Early To Bed

IMG_0067.JPG

Benjamin Franklin famously said in Poor Richard’s Almanac “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” Last night, I went to bed pretty early, and I always have to get up early for work each day. I’m not so sure about the healthy or wise but I’m certain that it hasn’t made me wealthy.

Just as my shoulder began feeling better, my lower back began to hurt. I’ve been having some back spasms. Nothing too severe but it has limited my movements. I’ve had back spasms much worse, but this has been a nagging pain off and on for a week. So last night, I took some medicine that my doctor has prescribed in the past and went to bed early.

Hopefully, it will be better today.

I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's. My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces. View all posts by Joe
