Winds kicked up

Wednesday, December 26th, 2007

I’m doing alright, but the winds are playing around with my head.  Combine that with too much junk food, not enough sleep and way too little exercise, and it’s amazing I feel as good as I do.  Next week ballet classes resume, and I can’t wait to get back.

Christmas here was good and full of lots of family visits.  I’ve been enjoying the holidays and wish I could stretch out this time and the good feelings associated with this time of year.

No news is good news

That about says it all - I’ve been feeling pretty good (and am probably jinxing myself now).  I need to get my refill situation figured out, as I don’t want to run out of anything.  Details, details.

I’m currently working on learning out to let things go and not feel anxious and rushed inside.  It’s a process - probably a long one for me - but it’s something I’m trying to be conscious of as a way to better manage my stress and not let tension build up.

DD is next door playing, and DH and I have nowhere to be tonight.  The gift of quiet and time.  Ahhh…..

Just a general update

I had a migraine over the thanksgiving weekend, but it responded to Maxalt so all was well.  It was triggered, I think, by a combination of hormones and stress.  I was susceptible anyway at that time, and some pretty harsh stress sent me over the edge.  Lately (the last week or two?) I have been staying up far too late and each day I’m amazed that it hasn’t caught up with me yet.  I keep saying this is the night I’ll get to bed on time, and each night it’s 11 o’clock and I’m still up.  So will tonight be the night?  We shall see.

Happy December to all who are reading this.  It’s a time of shorter days and longer nights, hot cocoa, pretty lights and candles, fires int he fireplace, music and being close to those we love.  I hope the season is good to all of us, and that we all take time to find those quiet moments we all need to stay centered in the midst of busy-ness.
