Hey y'all - well, the last couple of days have been exciting and tough all at the same for me. Exciting because it's leading up to my birthday - TOMORROW - and tough because I've been healing some emotional pains that I didn't even know I had hidden away. It wasn't until I watched my friend's video memorial of her 32 year old horse, who is now in horsey heaven, that I realized one of the hurts that has been holding me back emotionally from complete healing. But I survived that moment, although this morning I had puffy eyes and stuffy sinuses for a while at work from the tears that flowed last night. However, now I am on the upside and my goals are becoming more and more clear.
I was really tired last night from not sleeping well Saturday or Sunday night and staying up until the wee hours of the morning watching the most AWESOME Daytona 500 I have seen in a long time. YAY E, JR for being so close to the front of the pack and Congratulations Kenseth on an awesome win! So the lack of sleep just brought everything to the surface. That's usually the way it happens. When you're at your weakest point is when all the raw emotions get exposed and conquered so you can heal and move forward.
Making this week exciting are the plans I have been making for the next few days and for my future. Instead of celebrating 1 day for my birthday, did I mention that it's tomorrow? ha ha ha I will be celebrating over the next 4 days in one way or another. But I will not tell you about the celebrations now. Let's just say that I'm leaving work tomorrow at 11:30 for the day for the first adventure/celebration. They'll all be exposed soon anyway because I will either post or blog about them (or most likely both) :)
Still awaiting my new business cards for my return to the world of kitchen and bath design but the anticipation is building. Talked with those folks today and got a really good vibe from them by what they told me. I think they've been asking around about me and my capabilities and are very happy with what they hear. YAY ME! ha ha
On the healthy side of things, I took a really long walk Sunday which made me sore for the last couple days but now I want to go do it again because it felt so good. Mondays thru Thursdays are so hard for me to squeeze in workouts with long work days so I have to carefully monitor what I eat and not cheat at all. So far so good this week! I am so ready for the 8:30pm sunsets so that I can get outside to walk after supper. Today I had a temptation at lunch where for a moment I got in my car, left my parking lot and was heading towards one of my favorite fast food restaurants when one of friends popped in my head and I thought "WWJD." No, not what this normally means but "What Would Jennie Do." See, Jennie is my new friend who is an inspiration for me to get healthy and to really start living again. She has lost 100lbs+ over the last year and is continuing to meet her goals and learning to live her new life. She is simply amazing and has such a different life now than she did prior to this journey. So THANK YOU JENNIE for putting it out there for us all to follow ;)
Okay, Idol is almost over so that means I am late to bed once again so I'll quit jibbering on. Until next time...
:-)
