Thanks for starting the check in, Alta!
Happy September! Even when it's warm out now I can feel the difference btwn summer and fall warmth and I am happy it's finally cooling off. I think I will try to start each day this month by posting a positive like this. My mom used to post a positive thought or quote on Facebook every night before bed. She said she wanted her FB friends to always see smthg positive first thing in the morning, a bright spot in all the negative stuff posted and the news. She did this until the end, no matter how hard her day may have been. If only I could be even half as positive, generous and friendly as she was....
I've been feeling really anxious the last few days. We spent the wknd with my father-in-law and then yesterday I was on the road for 6 hours total in order to spend a couple hours with my dad. I need to get back to my routine. Self care really suffers when I'm not at home.
I did do PT and picked back up with the DoYouYoga challenge this morning, so I'm feeling good about that.
Mindfulness. Planning. Commitment. Discipline. I'm focusing on these words and actions this month.
Special touches: brown sugar vanilla lotion, tree ring, apple candle and classical music
