I awoke this morning in a funk. Nothing I could put my finger on just an unease....a feeling of distress but for no reason that I think of...I hate when that happens. So, I do what I always do...I threw on my big girl panties and got on with my life.
I went kickboxing which helped a lot....guess it is true what they say about those endorphins.
Then I ran my errands....drugstore, gas station, post office. Got all those nagging little items out of the way...and that helped too.
When I got home I heated myself some leftover pea soup and made myself a ham sandwich. Eating really helped!!! Maybe I was just hungry??
When I sat down here to work on this blog I started with 5 minute Friday. Today's word that I spent 5 minutes writing about was Encouragement. I thought this was pretty appropriate and it helped me to put a name to what I was feeling....I felt discouraged. I have no reason to feel discouraged. Life is the same today as it has been, maybe even less stressful since Mom is in sunny California for a couple of months. But, alas, sometimes we have no control over our feelings so we just need to "Let it Go" and give it to God.
Frank has a meeting this evening so I won't be cooking dinner. I think we will just have leftover Chicken and Dumplings. I think, while he is at his meeting, that I will go and treat myself to a mani/pedi and maybe stop in at Joann Fabrics. Just the thought of it has cheered me up.
I am posting in 12 Months to a Healthier You Challenge because I did talk about my kickboxing today. LOL

That is one of my fears in my caregiving journey. When it is over...what will I do with myself. It sounds like you might be having one of those days. I am glad that you are going to Let it Go...and give it to God. And surely a mani/pedi can't hurt either. Thank you for being my blogging friend!
ReplyDeleteThanks Paula, kind of like empty nest syndrome I guess.
