How is everyone this Monday AM? It's back to the grind, right? I'm trying to not look at that in the negative. I'm trying to look at it as a stepping stone to bigger things. I'm trying to look at it as temporary, a means to an end. My time will come.
I had a great weekend. Saturday, even though it's not an exercise day, I went for a walk. I had a list, I know we've talked about that and I didn't finish it, but I came close and that was OK. I let it go.
You guys, I finally made the lotion. It's a good one. It's pretty light weight but moisturizing. I'll be making body butters for people who want to pack a bigger punch into their routine.
I usually use lotion in the AM and a butter in the PM.
Anyways, it was the most humbling thing. I cried. Happy tears. I have procrastinated doing this, probably out of fear that it wouldn't work. But I did it, and it worked. I'm going to take it to work today and have the gals try it and see what they have to say.
So I went to bed feeling pretty damn grateful, a little bit of healthy pride, and content.
That word though...content. Content is good. It's peaceful, it's calm, it's not "high". I like not high.
Yesterday, I woke up simply knowing my day would be good. It would be busy but it would be good and it was so much more than that.
I went for a walk, I did some of the things that I didn't get done on Saturday, I did my makeup, I went rollerskating, I talked to Erin for about 25 minutes, I went axe throwing with my son, then I met up with two of my tribe, Tracy and Andrea, and we saw the play "Kinky Boots" and it was so amazing. There's a little theatre in Anoka right on main street and I've always wanted to go see a play there. Andrea invited me as she lives down south and flew up. So she, Tracy and I went and we loved it. It really was fabulous.
Then I came home, picked up my daughter and we went back into downtown Anoka (it's literally 2 minutes from me) and had mexican for dinner.
I came home and showered and put on a sheet mask facial and layed in my daughter's bed and watched an episode of Sex And the City. We laughed.
I love that show. If you have watched it, comment on the blog post on my Willow's Whimsy page and tell me your favorite episode. Both my daughter and I love the episode where Aidan and Carrie are staying in the woods in a cabin and Big comes and him and Aidan get in a fight. It's so funny.
Anyways, I was absolutely exhausted. I went to bed at 8:15!!!
I slept good. See, I'm learning that I don't need meds. I'm learning that I can do this sleep thing with consistency and dedication. I just have to stay busy until an hour before bed time and then I halt everything and force myself not to go to sleep but to read or to watch a show or whatever and give it an hour so my body realizes what's happening and I just sortof let my tiredness wash over me.
I don't know, is there a theme to this post? I think I'm just saying, do what you gotta do, don't procrastinate, throw yourself into whatever you do, be present for it.
I am so grateful for the entire day and for the opportunity to hang out with my son.
So here I go; yes, I walked this morning, I did a little ab workout and I did some yoga for my back. I meditated!
I'll tell you all about today...tomorrow.
I truly hope you all have an amazing day. I hope you feel some joy. I hope you feel some peace.
Be Blessed.
Love & Light,
Neecie
