I spent the morning battling a list of things I wanted to get done and the evils of “on hold” stasis. Just getting through all the calls was exhausting. Nothing can be simple or easy. But I did it. I gave myself permission to breathe and take a break this afternoon.
Yesterday I found out that the pain in my bad leg is tendinitis. I need to take it easy. Honestly I would rather walk. I want to walk Iggy until he gets tired. I cannot remember the last time that happened. I was just starting to feel like I was controlling my days, not the crankle and then this new pain started.
But I will keep pushing forward. Even if I have to physically rest more, I can put pen to paper. I doodled these earlier today. They are fun and magical, no?
I want to find myself and hold on through the rough days. I hear “opportunities” and the “one door closes and another opens.” I believe them. Unfortunately there is part of me that brings the dark cloud to hover over me every day and if I’m not careful it stays.
Time for me to rest. I need to give myself credit for everything I have done. I need to be proud of myself.
Be well. ♥

Yes you do – need to give yourself credit, and yes you should – be proud of yourself. You have to look at it as an opportunity to expand your horizons and aim higher, none of us like change and we tend to hang on to what we are comfortable with. Get out of your comfort zone and meet the challenge, you will succeed, I have no doubt.

Love the minions – they remind me of some of the people I work with. Hang in there:) I know it’s awful to be let go from a job, but it’s a learning experience you can build on for your next opportunity.
