Today I feel thankful. I'm making some progress with the anxiety medication and feel like I'm getting a part of myself back. Don't get me wrong, I'm still anxious and neurotic but now I don't feel like there is a cement block on my chest or like the slightest challenge will push me over the edge.
We just got through Littlest Boys birthday celebrations and are greaing up for Sisters (x2) birthday celebrations this Friday and Bigger Boy's party on Sunday. I am coping, it's amazing.
In a world surrounded by sad and terrible things I do spend a lot of energy worrying that something horrific will befall my family. My empathy for those who are going through something impossibly hard makes me sad for them but also think "If it can happen to them, it can happen to us". And so I worry but I'm not obsessing.
Today I am thankful for the now, thankful for all beautiful, loveliness in my life TODAY.
About Me
- Jennifer
- Ottawa, ontario, Canada
- When you actually sit down to "describe" yourself, it's actually a bit daunting! Let me just say, I'm a Mom of 2 young boys, a wife, I work full-time and am blessed to be surrounded my many friends and a very involved extended family. I can often be found in my kitchen, in my pyjamas of course, cooking dinner or baking or lamenting over the dishes to be done. I like the comfort and serenity that puttering in my kitchen offers. It is sometimes calming, sometimes a disaster, most times a mess but always filled with love.
Great post Jen. I have friends going through a terrible time and its important to be thankful for every day!
ReplyDeleteI soo feel you Jen. I'm on anxiety meds too and worry like crazy about horrid things that can possibly happen to people in my family. I don't even have kids yet or a husband, so you can imagine how my worries will increase :s. But like you I am thankful for everything I have today and to try and only worry when something happens.
