Coming Together in the Heat of October

If I can just continue making that loop my routine, I should be okay. It’s amazing how much a little pain can change things. When I had to take a few days off from walking, I felt incredibly discouraged. It was so frustrating to not be able to get in my steps, but walking today without pain made that hiatus worth the frustration. I just have to remember that when I start feeling any sort of pain, it is important that I stop pushing and let myself get the rest I need.

It was another warm day, too warm for mid-October. I do feel more accomplished on warm days, returning home absolutely drenched in sweat, but I am ready for things to start cooling off. I’m afraid it will be so fast when it does happen that I’ll be a popsicle, but we’ll see what happens!

In some ways, I feel like my life is starting to come together. Im some ways, I feel like things are just as unravelled as they’ve been for two years. There are so many things to do, and I still feel mentally drained most of the time. I’m being patient with myself. I’m not against anyone’s clock. The only thing that matters is relaxing and enjoying the ride.
