I'm not sure where I've been lately. My mind is consumed with the day to day . I haven't seen my family enough, I am neglecting friends and making myself a priority. I think it is okay to have periods of your life like this. It's just a temporary bout of selfishness and I believe I will recover soon.
Work life has been more stressful than normal. It's not that I am personally stressed, but everyone around me is. I am like an emotional sponge and have to spend a lot of energy warding off their negative vibes so I don't absorb them. This is truly a time when a persons attitude will determine the kind of day they are going to have. I'm proud of myself for maintaining a positive attitude. It takes a lot of dedication and energy.
I've been spending a lot of time thinking about diet and nutrition. I recently made changes to the way I eat. The awareness of what I am eating has become an obsession. I cheat here and there and then feel really guilty and worse about myself than is necessary. The advice I would give someone else in this situation would be that they should stop being so hard on themselves and be thankful for their healthy, functioning beautiful body that God made for them.
In other news, I planted potatoes today and have many other garden plans in place. Ben is building a chicken coop that will soon house four chickens. It's exciting to think about summer, fresh food and my new chicken friends. We will have three rain barrels this year, a plentiful black berry patch and gardens full of vegetables. I love it here and life is good.
