It’s the end of January, and we had our first blizzard of the winter. It was a nice one. This week, overall was a bit tough because it’s been so cold. We have not had a day in the upper 30s in quite a while, so it’s keeping me inside, which I do not like!
Words of the week:
- Snow!: I love snow storms. I’ve gotten to love them more and more as I get older, especially because I get to shovel during and afterwards! Yeah, I said it. I like to shovel. It gives me a sense of creating order out of chaos.
- Haters: I just got a bit of a haters gonna hate dose this week. Negativity really drags me down. It’s forcing me to be reflective and to think through my approach. While there’s nothing inherently bad about thinking through, I can’t stop to think of Tennyson’s quote: “It’s better to have tried and failed than to live life wondering what would’ve happened if I had tried”.
- Eyes: It’s been so dry that my eyes are really bothering me this week. Today is especially bad as I feel that I am a bit cross eyed. Need to get some eye drops, and get to the doctor’s.
Number of the Week:
- 5: I made a big mistake this past week. I thought I could do more than 5 things a day, and found myself a) struggling to keep up, and b) feeling really down and out about it. I need to get back to 5 (it’s the new magic number), and need to prioritize self care (it’s not the first time I remind myself of that).
