I wrote yesterday about the cocoon that I had swaddled myself up into Friday night.....needing to rest and chill desperately.....and yesterday I contemplated it again.....after dropping Gabe off at his dad's house......but instead I intentionally broke free of that.......I had a great workout.......I went to TJ Maxx for a little bit, doing some wandering there:) plus I NEEDED a pair of high waisted flare jeans too so......lol:) then I grabbed lunch with a friend and had a lovely chat.....helping her do some stuff in the afternoon. Finishing the day, having one of my oldest friends come for a few beers and dinner, and tons of great conversation......and it was just what I needed.....exactly in fact.....and I am glad I resisted riding my lower energy vibe into solitude......sometimes we need that too.....or I definitely do.....I have come to really appreciate my times of solitude and they are a necessary part of my life.....but I also need social stuff and spending time with people.......today I get to grab that hike that has been calling my name too.....I am taking my parents to Stairway....one of my favorite trails......a more challenging one....and the sun is shining for it:) and by the end of the day today, I will have done a ton of things that filled my cup and helped me weather this energetic challenge I have been feelin.....I suspect the next week ahead will be much the same as the last couple.....ups and downs......I have my women's series tomorrow night, the weather foiled it again last week.......so I am looking forward to that, and connecting with the ladies......and I suppose I share this stuff today, sharing the stuff I did yesterday as a reminder......a reminder that every time we feel low or have challenges we have a choice.....a choice to look toward light and choose things that help us......knowing what they are......I now know what my arsenal holds for the remainder of my days......and it is comforting to know that when things get challenging......I have places I can go and things I can do that can help.....no matter what is troubling my heart and soul........forever understanding that......and that feels like something......so I hope wherever you are, and whatever you are doing today, and every day, that it fills your cup too! Have a great Sunday y'all! :)
