September Serenity - week 4
Happy hump day. I cannot believe how fast the week is moving along.
RB, I was just reading on the holistic health site about mood related to drinking and hypoglycemia. The foods we consume affect our mood. It is so true. If you get a chance, look up the threads, they are really informative. Your efforts to give up sugar are right on track with helping to stabilize your mood, get rid of the blues. It has a biological origin, which to me is so interesting. Yesterday they had a free lunch at work, basically junk, I indulged and felt physically and mentally crappy. Also, drained. So, today, limited portions and mostly veggies and proteins with lots of water.
Chill, I love your description of Portugal compared to UK. Quality of life is so important. To me, being close enough to my family to visit pretty regularly is life itself. Relationships. We all have different needs and knowing what we want and being able to name it is the first step in obtaining it. I understand wanting to be in a warm climate during the winter. I dread the snow and cold here in the Midwest, but it makes spring, summer and fall so precious to me. I wish I could affort to go on a trip to a warm climate in February.....we'll have to see.
PA, so healthy that you can voice your frustration over being housebound. I had a surgery in the past and made it through with lots of support, like you.
Rusty, what a thing to happen (I know I sound like an old mother hen). I appreciate your attitude, and tend to believe his story. I mean, to make up something that horrible would show a real lack of character and you would not want to be involved with someone who would go to that length. Being a confirmed bachelorette is cool, I have always been attached and like it, but do not feel that marriage is the be all, end all. To be yourself and find contentment in that, to have meaningful work, family relationships, good friends, all add up to a successful life. I lacked a career and education for a long time, and worked years to obtain those degrees and work experience in my life. Again, we are all on a journey and it is life.
Looks like I am in a philisophical frame of mind this morning, as I was up early and had time to think and write. Sending you all blessings in whatever your particular need is today and committment to be AF.
