Okay, so this is something I said just about a week or so that I wouldn’t get into the habit of doing. That is combining two days during the week into one blog. The sad truth is that it has been a rough couple`a days for me personally…so this is the way it is gonna be. Sorry to disappoint folks! Sometimes, no matter how hard we push or how good we intend to be, life gets in the way and throws us off track a little. It’s been that kinda week I guess. We all have days or weeks like that. I am sure you can relate. And the truth is, MOST of the time I can handle it. Unfortunately, from time to time I have my moments like everyone else. I finished up just about two weeks of deliveries last night, and that aaaaalways takes a lot out of me. There is a lot of long nights involved in the delivery process.

Not that I am complaining mind you. The money is good and it is definitely a necessary evil. I am also blessed to have the most perfect delivery sidekick by my side. That makes it a lot easier and a lot more enjoyable too (Thanks Cody!). I just don’t get to sleep much during that time…which makes dealing with personal drama a whooole lot more difficult…ugh. Not to get too deep into anything here, because I am not looking to bring anyone down (we all have our own journey), but this is just one of those weeks where you are stuck dealing with one thing after another. You get ahold of one…and get hit with two more. SOOOO much fun…NOT! Lol. So I am dealing…and I am healing. Not much else we can do. I will be honest with you, the first this I did was reach out for a little support. Not an easy thing for me to do at ALL.

But I called my best friend and told her to make sure that I don’t let this kind of stuff throw me off course. Sadly, I have found over the years that when I get hit with stuff that is tough to deal with, I can easily lose my focus…and the refrigerator becomes my closest friend. One of the few cool things about getting older is that it brings at least a hint of wisdom with it. And since I recognized the pattern…I took steps right away to make sure I didn’t fall into the same old routine. So it’s been a tough few days this week…but I am getting through it. Finishing stronger than when I started, as a wise old trainer used to tell me. I haven’t been able to do much in the way of workouts…but the food choices are under control. I will take that for now. And what I will also take for now…is the chance to get some MUCH needed sleep. I hope you are all handling your own personal drama well too. Remember…one step at a time…and finish stronger than you started. Don’t be too proud to ask for a little help either.  

Until tomorrow!
