I am always so tired on Wednesday and this is also one of my longest days of the week because I see a counseling client after my regular job.
Tuesday night is also MAFS reality tv so I am up extra late.
Main positive is once Wednesday is over, the rest of the week usually flies by.
My son is going to be away for a few days with his grandparents.
I also need to pack for our upcoming beach long weekend.
Hope today flies by for all of us!!
We were supposed to leave for a week to the beach in SC this morning. For several disappointing reasons that I am now over, that trip is not happening.
Instead, I am making the best of the first crisp morning here on my couch.
Windows open slightly, fresh air, hot coffee and no plans except maybe yoga later.
We spent the day out in the Hamptons yesterday at a pool party.
Even though it's not a week away at the beach....this is exactly a mini break that I need to rest and recharge.
I've found my days at work have become longer lately.
New client schedules.
Plethora of more challening people.
Additional tasks to take on.
On one hand this is good because it helps the days go quickly.
On the other, there are some days I sit down at the end of the day and am simply exhausted.
I try to take a long walk for self care but even then I still feel like I want to collapse on the sidewalk lol...
I've been putting my feelers out lately in looking for something new.
There's some stuff going on with my job that I can't change and am not happy about.
It's helped to get my resume out and talk to other social workers about their work and what's available (And not!!).
I will probably stay put for the time being-it's not ALL bad thankfully--or maybe move to a different department if it can happen (super hard to move internally for a variety of reasons which is also a current frustration).
Anyways, at least it's Thursday and the weekend is almost upon me....
That moment in the morning when it goes from really dark to becoming a little light outside.
Sipping good coffee a la my trusty French press.
Knowing that something great may be coming my way today.
Sending out the positive vibes on this weekly hump day for you and for me....
In yoga class yesterday our teacher Brian spoke about his favorite mindfulness visualization.
I forgot the name of the person to give the original credit and am too lazy to google before coffee but here goes...
He spoke about how our thoughts are a constant waterfall...coming and going and unable to stop.
But, if you look closely, right behind the waterfall, there is an empty space, a place that just exists....calm and just letting all come and go if you can get yourself to that place behind the waterfall...
I also loved the idea of visualizing all of our thoughts as a beautiful waterfall.
It reminded me that even in the most challenging and frustrating of moments, they usually always pass.
And that we may have one thing we are getting stuck on, however, we are still surrounded by lots of beautiful.
