I think we all need to step back and take a look at our life
and figure out where something can give.
Believe me, I know how hard it is to find someone to watch a special
needs child so you can have time to exercise, or spend some time alone with
your spouse. I don’t remember the last
time I had an uninterrupted night’s sleep.
But, I am lucky.
Steve makes sure that I can exercise, and fully supports this
journey. But, a lot of other things have
to slide. It sounds silly to think of
making a choice between vacuuming and doing laundry. Cooking dinner comes before cleaning. But that’s OK. I am learning to make choices. And now, making some time to relax is bumping
up in the priority list. I had said I wanted to go in the sauna every day for
detox. Now, I want to go in the sauna
every day to relax. I can still
multi-task!
With all this on my mind, I had a little extra motivation at
the muscle challenge class tonight. I
pushed really hard. And, it was a great
class. Of course, by the time I got to
yoga I was beyond exhausted. I had to
rest a few more times than I normally do, but I made it through. I was never so happy to hear ‘final
relaxation’! And, those five minutes do
count.
Today was a really hard day, but I don’t want to say I am
not grateful for something. In truth, I
am grateful for just waking up this morning.
For having a good morning with Michael.
For him learning to swim. For
having the best husband in the world. I
am grateful to exercise with my cousin.
So, there are so many sources of joy and love in my life. Even as my heart is heavy with worry, it’s
also bursting with happiness. Yes, I’m
strange!
