Well, I'm not going to lie, it's been pretty difficult to not to be depressed with all the personal crap I've been having to deal with lately. Seems like one thing after another. Sometimes I feel like I am being punished for trying to lead a healthier life. It would be so much easier to just give up and not even bother. When I start to feel to bad, I just try to make a mental list of all the things I have to be grateful for, or force myself to smile whether I like it or not. Seems to keep me from going insane so far.

On a positive note: I read one book this week and I knit a washcloth, what I intended to be a washcloth anyway, looks like a piece of swiss cheese.
You are right, it would be much easier to accept mediocrity and do nothing, but I think in the long run, you would be more despondent. You are blossoming while trying new things and pushing yourself outside your limits, it looks good on you. If it was easy, everyone would do it!
ReplyDeleteI'll hold you to those push ups!!! If you would like some help with your knitting, let me know, I love to knit:)
Swiss cheese? You could sell it as a shabby-chic dishcloth for twice the price of a regular one. YOU'VE got talent!!! Really. You are so good at helping others see the silver lining... start helping yourself too! You are so worth it!
