Today has been such a relief after feeling bad this whole week. I was able to have some ME time, which I am finding is crucial to my emotional well-being these days. I need a lot more time alone to process what I am feeling.
I woke up, went to Starbucks and read the entire "Grieving the Child I never knew" book. It was really refreshing to sit in the sunshine, drinking my chai latte and do some of the grief work I had been needing to do. I didn't do any of the journal activities, so I will go back and do those someday.
After that, I went to the gym I joined yesterday. I feel proud of myself for taking a small step of doing something productive with my grief. If I'm going to be sad or angry, I should do something with that power. I need to be healthy, physically and emotionally, and working out helps both of those things.
Then I went to the community pool and read every word of an Oprah magazine, swam and just laid in the sun.
I did all of those things completely alone and I loved it. I love being anonymous these days. I feel really grateful that I have the type of life that I have the time and the money to do all of those little "luxury" things that sometimes really do help make me feel better.
