I had a great weekend and I feel really good this morning. More like my "old self" than I've felt in months. I want to write it down here right now, this morning, at 9am because I don't want to forget this feeling or the fact that I felt it. Namaste. I hope I feel this way for as long as possible. I'm aware each moment is a gift.
I'm also aware that it's been a while since my last "snapshots from a happy life" post, and I have to admit that it's because I haven't been feeling like it would be genuine. Well, that and that I've been ridiculously busy, which is a reason I've not been blogging that didn't make it into the last post. I've had
that feeling of tightness in my chest, the anxiety, the weight of knowing I am overscheduled and too busy for the next two months at least. It scares me, but I am no stranger to this feeling, and I'm trying to do what I haven't done in the past: let certain things drop so that I am less anxious and overscheduled. Sadly blogging has been the thing that 's dropped. Why couldn't it have been something lame and unenjoyable, like chores or finances?! Right? Anyway, it's time to bring this feature back.
Here are some of my favorite shots from the last few weeks.

ReplyDeleteThat's great to hear that you've been feeling more like yourself. It's nice to welcome it and to enjoy those moments.
ReplyDeleteLove the pics of the cherry blossoms. They make my spirit soar. And I'm impressed you can hold still enough (even when stopped) to capture the beauty when you're out on your run!
I hold my breath! Ha! :)
