Hello everyone!
We're hitting the mid-November mark and I just wanted to check in with all of you to see how you're doing.
Sharon (WO), how's your back feeling these days? Any better? I read on another thread about your anxiety symptoms. Any relief? Info from your doctor?
Sharon (LDM), how are you making out with your list? Still hitting the gym?
Fran, how have things been going with discipline? Is all-or-nothing still working, or have you been able to find a comfortable middle ground?
SRL, hope you've been able to manage the stress eating. It's so hard at this time of year.
Jo, how are you faring?
Marg? Michelle? JJJ? Sorry if I am missing anyone. If I have please check in anyway.
This slowing down business is a new one for me. I'm so used to rushing all over the place and not having any time to think. Having time to think is untold freedom, and a blessing. Even when the thoughts are sad or painful, having the time and space to mindfully think through things has been great.
Sharon (LDM), I have taken your suggestion to heart. Rather than mope about having nothing to do, I've been taking on all of those little projects that have fallen by the wayside over the last many months.
Today, I tidied up the linen closet and the guest room, caught up with some friends I haven't spoken to in months, made plans with one friend to go to one of those make-your-own pottery places in a few weeks. Yesterday, I took a book and sat by the fireplace, and napped for about 3 hours. Tomorrow...I don't know yet! And that in itself is a strange feeling.
I could get to like this!
