My Life Thus Far
It's Good For My Soul
Sleeping with my injured knee was problematic. I think the wrapping Snookums put on it was part of the problem. It was too tight, and kept balling up in the crease behind my knee. Other than that minor inconvenience, I slept really well thanks to my challenging hike. I woke up feeling upbeat and well-rested. A very good start to my day. It put me in a positive mood, even though I had a long day at work, and I had to close.
There isn't much to say about today. It was a pretty average day at work, but it went well. In general I've been having really good days, and I think part of that is due to my attitude and following my mantra "be here now". When I'm fully present to what I'm doing, where I am, and don't focus so much on where I'd rather be, or what I'd rather be doing, I'm happier. It's that simple. I just do my job and try to be pleasant, even when customers aren't. It's good for me. It's good for my soul. As crazy as that sounds. Not hating my job on a daily basis is very good for my soul.
Even though I'm fairly certain my all I did was scrape my knee, I'm slightly weary of the constant pain. When I don't move it, it throbs. When I do move it, it's a searing white hot pain. I've always fancied myself to have a very high pain threshold (I have birthed 3 children with no pain meds), but this is lasting much longer than all 3 of my labors combined. I can't wait until it scabs over and doesn't hurt anymore. Then I can go back to my usual level of daily pain - my back and hips.
My situation with Snookums is still tenuous. We're doing okay, but I'm still feeling lots of animosity towards him for what he's done. To my sense of security, and the stability of our family. It's going to take a lot for me to get past this. But I want to...
