Happy Wednesday friends!\u00a0 I wanted to check in and see how you were doing.\u00a0 How are you feeling?\u00a0 Like, REALLY feeling?<\/p>\n
If I’m being honest – I’ve been having a hard time with a few things.\u00a0 Over two months with my walking boot.\u00a0 I thought I could finally be rid of it.\u00a0 I took it off this weekend.\u00a0 I think I pushed it too hard and too fast and was feeling some pain again – so the boot is back on.\u00a0 I’m trying to stay positive.\u00a0 Thankful for the recovery process as slow as it might be.\u00a0 Our health care is free and for that I’m grateful.\u00a0 \u00a0I’m just anxious and eager to get out walking again. Just to soak up the sunshine and take in all the green!\u00a0 So much has come to life in the last week!\u00a0 It’s incredible.\u00a0 The trees are coming back to life.\u00a0 The grass is green.\u00a0 We’ve got dandelions again!\u00a0 And I’m not even mad.\u00a0 (smile)\u00a0 It just means spring and warm weather and summer will be here before you know it.<\/p>\n
Sitting on my butt way too much the past few months has been a challenge.\u00a0 I’m used to morning exercise and morning walks and in that two months I’ve gained ten pounds and my clothes are fitting pretty snug and I know I need to do something before I give in and buy bigger size clothes.<\/p>\n
Kids leaving home has been hard on the heart as well.<\/p>\n
Celebrating Easter this weekend was a reminder of what’s missing.\u00a0 The energy.\u00a0 The fun.\u00a0 No Easter Egg hunts in our house.\u00a0 No chocolate Easter bunny sitting in a basket on the kitchen table.<\/p>\n
The vibe was very different – both happy and sad.<\/p>\n
It’s been a year of change in our house and it’s been an adjustment.<\/p>\n
And sometimes we get into those difficult life seasons and we feel kinda stuck.\u00a0 Even if the situation is beyond our control – like falling down the chairs and ending up in a walking boot for two months. (smile)<\/p>\n
What do you do when you feel stuck?<\/p>\n
What do you do when you don’t know what to feel?<\/p>\n
We’ve got a lot happening in the world around us.\u00a0 We’ve got tarrifs and politics and an election in less than a week.\u00a0 Everyone has an opinion and there’s a lot of information being shared online.\u00a0 Sometimes I think our world would be so much kinder if we didn’t have social media.\u00a0 I often think of walking away entirely.\u00a0 But I’d miss too many people and connections.\u00a0 Instead I will make a promise to not read the comments.<\/p>\n
I found this blog today and thought it felt fitting for me and what I’m feeling and wondered if you might get something out of it as well.<\/p>\n
