The journey begins...

Well that headline is not quite right, cause the journey started a long time ago :)

But my best friend surprised me with this gift.


If you haven't seen this before, it's called a H'Optimist. They come in many colours and faces, and this one is the Smiley :)
I had told my friend that I had one of these as a child and that I remembered it always made me smile, just looking at it. So, a few weeks back she surprised me with this one and there was a card along with it. She wrote:

My dear friend

Here's a little something from me to you.
I hope that you will get better soon.
I miss the person you once were and that I've had so many good times together with.
That is why you get this little thing in hope that it will make you just a little bit happier!!!

All I could say was, that I missed who I was back then too!!!

But this made me take the last step towards the changes needed to be done. Not sure how many changes I need to make, but trying to turn around the night/day and hopefully get a little bit of normal structure back into my days, is the first one. And I also need to stay away from Facebook for a while. Going to miss the many great friends I've come to know on there, but since I tend to care too much about others, I really need to focus on me right now.

My dad would have turned 72 years today. Happy Birthday, Dad !! And on this date, 6 years ago, my father in law, passed away. My father followed him 4 months later. Then my neighbour has a birthday today too, and she turns 40 today....lol I don't normally dwell on dates for when loves ones has passed away, but I remember I called my dad on the way home from the hospital, after my father in law had passed, to tell him the sad news and at the same time, wish him a Happy Birthday. But I believe that we only borrow the body we have each life and that our soul lives on, so to me, they are not really gone :)

Food

Some of the side effects from the meds is extreme dryness in mouth and nose and all my senses are working overtime. That means I'm very sensitive to smell and test. Topping that with nausea, eating isn't always easy. So I tend to skip my meals and just grab something in between. Not the healthiest way, I know. I have the sweetest husband who has taken over making dinner when he is home and he makes sure there are leftovers put in the freezer for me for when he's away for work every 2 weeks. I haven't been good at eating the meals, but now that is also going to change. So far I've had dinner EVERY day since he left about a week ago :)

Day 28 – Time to catch your breath

Stay under your breath means not getting so far ahead of yourself that you need to stop for recovery. Today is about looking at your life and be honest about how you've been running it. Pedram talks about getting out of breath when you do too much too fast and the need to stay focused to prevent this. Again, check the workload, delegate, rearrange etc. Remember to do the same in your private life as well.
