No, what's YOUR motivation? Because really, I need some!!!
It's been a struggle, dealing with the heart stuff, and the endometriosis, and work stress, and missing work from World Market... (I had to quit, thanks to my stupid health issues.) I'm finding myself with a lot of extra time on my hands now - which is good, because I have a book or two that I want to write about that silly dog of mine, about 3 blankets that I'm 2/3 finished with that I need to finish so I can donate them to the hospitals, and WAAAAY too many clothes that I need to sort through.
And blogging... Lots of blogging to do. Not that many people read THIS blog, but I need someplace to dump everything. I do know, though, that people are missing my Tid Bits of Inspiration, and I apologize - I just haven't felt all that inspired. I know the Man Upstairs is most definitely present in my life, but there isn't much that I've been moved to share lately. Nothing I've been called to write. I mean, there are things, there is movement stirring in my soul, but it's stuff I'm not ready to, or at liberty to share.
What I CAN talk about - Meal planning! Work outs! LOL.....
I've started Mom and Dad and myself on a meal plan. It's mainly for dinners, but it's working really well - especially for them! Mom's down about 10 pounds, Dad's lost 6-7 I think he said? And me? Well, I am the exact same. My body is doing it's whole "let's rearrange" thing, so my regular clothes aren't even fitting right! *heavy sigh* I had to dig out my fat pants, and even those don't feel comfortable. *frown* Soooo, going to get back in to that gym. Gonna use the C25k app, and add some serious core workouts and strength training. I wanted to add yoga to my routine, but there aren't any normal yoga studios near me - everything's "HOT YOGA" now, and with my asthma and the heat intollerance that goes with my stupid heart, there's no way in hell (pardon the pun) that I could do hot yoga!
Anyone have any advice? (all 3 of you who happen to read the blog?) Again - maybe it's just needing to brain-dump from time to time. I find that I don't blog or journal as much when I'm living with people. When I'm on my own, having more alone time, my brain just doesn't shut up and my fingers just tyyyyyyype away.... LOL.
I feel like I'm letting someone down, not blogging about anything in particular. A blog with a purpose - that's what I wanted to have, originally.... that and a place where someone - anyone - would be a witness to my life. You all with significant others really don't know how lonely it is to NOT have someone to share your life with. I do get to share quite a bit with my parents, and with the few friends that I get to see on a regular basis, but man, let me tell you.... having someone to witness the good, the bad, the ugly, it really means something.... As horrible as JJ turned out to be, it was nice to have someone to share my life with, even for the few months that it was. Don't take advantage of that. Tell the one you're with how much they mean to you each and every day. Show them how much you appreciate them. And please, remember your single friends and invite them along, even if you think they might say no - give them the option of saying yes. Make that concious effort to do something non-couple-oriented... remember how it was before you met your life-partner? Those of us stuck in singledom miss those of you who graduated to coupledom.
