Valentine's day is upon us and Easter is just ahead. I am the worst at being caught up in the moment and not taking a step back to be thankful for my surroundings. Early December 2015 we joined the local gym and fell in love with the "love hate" relationship. However, our gym adventure was put on hold because of an unexpected hysterectomy that was needed.... that was 7 weeks ago!!!! WOOHOO 7 weeks have past and it was a LONG 7 weeks. We are all back in the gym and "working on our fitness"
I am saying all this because when we are in the gym and focusing on "me" time.... I struggle with calming my mind and just focusing on me. Rather than relaxation, I think about all the laundry and dishes at home that makes my daily life busy! Today after our PiYo class, I was talking to our trainer and explaining my balance issues to her. She reassured me that some of the very things I am struggling with are ..... well...........NORMAL! Although it has taken me years to get to where I am today, everyone struggles with something!
I read this quote today:
"Take a shower, wash off the day. Drink a glass of water. Make the room dark. Lie down and close your eyes. Notice the silence. Notice your heart. Still beating. Still fighting. You made it, after all. You made it, another day. And you can make it one more. You're doing just fine."
It has been really hard to just relax and enjoy myself. Realize that I made it through the day and doing just fine!
We have finished the shower in the master bathroom/bedroom and have done a few odds and ends. The weather has been too cold to do much in and out. It is mid-February.... lets hope this winter isn't like last year where it just lingered.
