Thank you for asking. Here's my response.

If I wasn’t disabled.

I would drive myself to my appointments.

(And wouldn’t need so damn many).

I would drive myself to an artist’s date.

I would take my dog for a walk.

I would tend my house plants.

I would plant and tend my garden.

I would do the grocery shopping sometimes.

I would cook meals, and bake treats.

This also assumes my dysthymia

was in remission.

Previously I wrote this poem about escaping for a day.

If I wanted to disappear for a day, where would I go?

I would disappear into joy.

Hope would buoy me up.

Wisdom would attend my path.

I would rest in the arms of the Beloved

and return aglow with love and self-acceptance
