I've been in a funk lately. A really BIG funk. I don't want to do anything. I just want to sleep. I have no motivation. I'm irritable. I'm not a lot of fun right now. I'm doing the bare minimum to get by.
But I'm trying to get out of this funk. Instead of writing about all the things that are getting on my nerves, I'm going to focus on the good things.
This month I'm going to count my blessings. I have a lot to be thankful for and I'm going to make a list I can refer back to when I'm struggling.
I'm filled with gratitude because...
I have a loving partner
I have a beautiful daughter
we have a roof over our heads
J. has a job he loves
we are all healthy
L. pooped in the potty three days in a row
it's sunny and warm outside
my mother-in-law gave us several potted plants last week and they're still alive
we cleared our vegetable garden space this weekend
L. gave me a hug
J. cooked dinner last night
my sewing class was rescheduled and starts on Wednesday
That's all for today. I'll keep adding to the list throughout the month. As for now, I'm going to go for a run and see if I can get myself on the right track today!
Oh! Em- I loooooooooooovvvveee you. You tell that Funk to shove off.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful list.

Have you tried Vitamin D. It has been pretty grey here lately. Perhaps you are solar powered like I am and need some extra vitamin D.
ReplyDeleteYes! I do take vitamin D. I quit taking it when we moved (because it was so sunny here) but started again after I realized I wasn't spending 24 hours a day in the sun!
