Working through it

So, it's been a weird couple of weeks.

I had surgery the day before Halloween.

Nothing major, and overall supposedly simple procedures.

But honestly... It was a little tougher than I was anticipating.

I thought I'd be back up and running in a week, maybe 2.

Well, Thanksgiving is next week and I'm still not 100%.

So, I'm behind.  And a little stressed.  And kinda grouchy.

Ryan is gone for the weekend hunting and I'm fighting that

feeling of wanting to be irritable and bitchy.  

I tried checking things off my To-Do list... 

glad it's done, but didn't improve my mood.

I tried taking a run... felt good (although cold), 

but my annoyance came back when I saw how slow my pace was.

SO....

I'm putting up Christmas decorations!

Yep!  If anything can perk me up, it's some holiday decor

(complete with a little Christmas music!)

The girls are having quiet time, so I can unpack and organize

my treasures and they can help me set them out when they wake up!

And I did find a photo while finishing a photo task this morning.

One that stuck in my mind and prompted me to think about a few things. 

Peace is the result of retraining your mind to process life as it is, rather than

as you think it should be.
