RESILIENCY

Simple Pleasures #50
This has been a week where I really needed resilience.
I knew it was going to be a busy week as Katy had four medical appointments to which I needed to drive her.
Monday was crazy. I picked Cary and Katy up in Grant Park, which is ten miles from me, for an eight o'clock appointment five minutes from me.
After dropping them off I came home ate breakfast and waited for them to call me to pick them up.
From there I drove them three miles to the next appointment and then went on down the road to walk the track.
Of course, we all know about best-made plans and on my way to the Wellness Center Cary texted me to come back and pick them up as they were in the wrong place.
The appointment was actually in mid-town Atlanta which was 25 minutes away.
Yikes. We made it.
Monday afternoon I felt like I had been hit with a sledgehammer.
It was either a nasty stomach virus or food poisoning. Needless to say, I needed to rest for a couple of days.
As crazy storms were rolling through my neck of the woods it was a good time to stay at home.
Yesterday's appointment was switched to telehealth, but today there is another medical appointment so I am back out on the road.

FALL ASLEEP QUICKLY
Tuesday, August 2, 2022
I don't know about you, but if I don't get a good night's sleep I am cranky as an old bear the next day.
Your mama may have told you that being tired from lack of sleep is just a normal part of aging, but although sleep patterns may change as we grow older, being tired from disturbed sleep is not normal.
Sleeping well is a very important part of our physical and emotional well being.
Sleep helps to repair cell damage and aids in our memory function.
In other words we just feel and function better when we get a good night's sleep.

If insomnia is a chronic problem or lasts for more than a few days it is important to talk to your doctor about it.
However, I have found something that not only works for my occasional insomnia, but is natural as well.
A doctor told me to drink 4 ounces of tart cherry juice an hour before going to bed.

LIFE IS LIKE A CAMERA

Simple Pleasures #49
The thing I love about cameras is that they capture the world from so many angles.
Life itself is like that.
There are so many different angles that we can look at the things that are happening in our lives.
If we choose just one angle we may become disheartened or feel hopeless.
When we choose a different angle we may find a whole new perspective.
I know that for me when I find a new angle it can feel like the worries start to fall away.
So, don't give up if something hasn't worked out the way that you wanted it to.
Try again.
Look at it from a different angle.
Life is full of infinite possibilities and all you have to do is open up your heart to them.
