Hi. Good morning. It's been some time since I woke at seven and found I couldn't get back to sleep. I can't believe how dark it was, the days really are getting shorter now. My weather app also tells me that it's raining, ha, the wonder of modern science
. It might be gloomy outside but I'm feeling quite upbeat about today. I can't explain it but I'm quite looking forward to the new day spread before me. Nothing special planned, i will probably go and visit at some point today. If and when I do I'll be sure to wear some old clothes, got an old plastic mack with a hood, so I'd just need a hose down afterwards.
I've been awake an hour now and it's only a little bit less gloomy outside. And the app is right, it is raining
. But it's not going to dampen my spirit. The only thing to dampen me is the shower I'm about to have
. I almost feel bad about posting this, i must never feel bad about feeling good, that line could be my new mantra. After all who knows how I'll feel as time goes on, we all know what a roller coaster ride of emotions being a carer can be. Next week I could feel low again, I'll have to wait and see but I feel I've reached a turning point. I hope i'm right.
CandC, i think you're right, I'm starting to find myself, I'm actually starting to enjoy that 'me' time instead of having to use it just to 'come down' from the stress of caring.
And Margherita, your wise words have covered everything in just three lines. Thank you
. I wish I could do that
at this rate I'll still be here at lunch time
, so that's it, once again good morning Al.
