Hump day already!!

I only saw 2 families yesterday but they were in different counties so that involved a fair amount of "road time." One was a new referral so those take more energy ... lots to explain, working hard at getting to know them, putting them at ease about having a stranger in their home!! It was a good day ... just tiring.

Today is weekly staff meeting (always such a joy!!), one family in the morning, and two after staff meeting I believe if I am remembering correctly. That makes for a very busy day so I thought I better pound out a quick journal entry while I drink my morning coffee and BEFORE I walk the dog. Funny thing is ... as I am typing this ... my dog is resting his head on my arm ... (MOM!!! Take me for my walk!!!!) ... or perhaps it is (MOM ... where are my MILKBONES????)!!!

Weight remains in the same range ... very good. I still get a little hint of anxiety now and again about how I am doing but overall I am feeling quite relaxed.

Grateful, of course, I am ... today for ...

1. finding a new TV series on Netflix I am enjoying (White Collar Crime)

2. perspective ... we ran into a neighbor while walking the dog last night and he was sharing this horrific story about the end of his friendship with another neighbor who has had serious mental health issues over the past few years ... there are ALWAYS stories that are "worse" and "better" than our own ...

3. Cool nights and warm days!!

4. My coffee ... I haven't mentioned that for a while and I still am so grateful for coffee!!!

5. All the little things ... and my ability to be present with people ... most of the time!!

Have a day full of practice today. Practice what? Well, kindness to yourselves of course!!! See if you can take a moment to just quiet your mind, focus on your breathing, let yourself "be" amidst the insanity of whatever is coming your way today. Remember each moment is simply a moment. It will pass. Some seem to go on and on and on and it is difficult to imagine they will shift at some point, but shift they do. Regardless of what you are facing today ... fun or stress ... being kind to yourself is a good thing!!! Take care buddies ... can't wait until I have more time to visit each one of you!!! So sorry I haven't been around much!!
