Rough Day

I had a hard day.  Mood, back, hubby is stressed about job stuff -- all piled high.  I told my life coach that I felt like I kept drawing the small straw over and over.

But I'm transitioning into a new phrase since my birthday month begins today and that helped me focus.  Last birthday year was/is CHOOSE THE BIGGER LIFE -- meaning all little things add up to a bigger life.  Don't discredit yes or no to small things -- adds up in all directions.  

This year is KEEP GOING.  Only quitting stops progress.  Even if it's minuscule progress, go forward.  So I did yesterday.

Short straw finding someone to water plants ... keep going.

Short straw managing lawn top coating delivery ... keep going.

Short straw on asking for what I need ... keep going.

Not feeling like moving forward on a possible friendship with a new neighbor because I feel sad today -- KEEP GOING.  (She's coming over today or tomorrow to help assess my struggling garden -- I followed up with her offer to come over.)

Japanese beetles ruining my veggie plants ... keep going to eliminate those suckers.

Schedule is changing like crazy and over filling -- keep adjusting, keep going.

Dental insurance ended suddenly with no COBRA and my dentist is tomorrow -- keep going.

Suddenly skittish about doing things alone (hello, hormones) -- keep going.

You get the idea ;)  It's sometimes a fake-it-till-you-make-it scenario.  Don't feel like something because my mood is driven by wacky hormones all of a sudden -- doesn't matter.  I know what I want, hormones don't.  

I figured out a lot yesterday and am continuing to work on other things I can adjust.  Keep going.  You'll be hearing me say this a lot (!!)

That's my preacher sermon for myself today.  Hope you're having a good week.  Later gators.
