My Life Thus Far

Water Under the Bridge

I'm very pleased with how I've been coping with life as of late. I had a really good day today, even though it wasn't terribly different from any ordinary day I would have had pre-vacation, or since. I can't help but feel like it has something to do with my diet (as in the food I'm eating on a regular basis, not a restrictive program designed to make me miserable and keep me in a perpetual state of starvation. There is a HUGE difference).

This morning, I got up and made my smoothie. I sipped on it slowly while dressing. I love it when I don't feel rushed as soon as I set foot out the bed. Snookums and I spent the morning running some errands, then had lunch before he dropped me off at therapy. Today was my first appointment since coming back from Hawaii. The entire session was devoted to my trip, what I did, and a large portion of time went to the debacle that was the loss of my luggage. In the sharing of the story, I came to realize that it's entirely water under the bridge now. I'm over it. As my therapist said, it's just an interesting story. Which is the perfect way to look at it. It's not the reintroduction to my unfortunate life (as I felt it was). It's just a funny story I get to tell.

After therapy, and the kids getting home, we went for a short hike on the Port Gamble trails. We didn't go far, but it was still a lovely escape into nature. I adore the way the woods smell after rain. There's a sweet, spicy, woodsy smell that just speaks to my souls. I came out of the woods renewed. Feeling alive, and well. Something I am continuously grateful for. Never a day goes by that I'm not grateful for feeling better, more alive, and whole. I'm healthy!

Tonight's dinner was a simple potato corn chowder, with a glass of Spanish white wine. I won't lie, drinking wine kind of makes me feel fancy (even though, I'm not). Definitely grown up (which I actually am). It feels like such a victory to be experiencing balance in my life. I'm off again tomorrow, so I suspect nothing less than more awesome to come!
