In case you haven't heard, it has been raining practically nonstop since Friday afternoon. My mom and I got out on a walk on Sunday. Other than that and running errands, I've been stuck inside. Today, the rain stopped for a few minutes so I threw on my shoes and went outside. Before I got off of the driveway it was raining again. I turned on Eddie Vedder "Into the Wild" and walked.
As I listened to Eddie croon in my ear, my feet picked up the pace. By now the rain was coming down pretty steadily and soaking me from head to toe. I didn't feel the cold. I didn't feel the wet. I felt good. I was moving. I was breathing. And, most importantly I was okay.
Now as I type away with my Red My Fortune Cookie nail polish I feel as though my reset button has been pushed and I'm more me than I have been in the past 3 months. And I know this feeling may not stay long, but it's good while it lasts.
I'll blog about my meeting with the naturopath later. For now, I leave you with these lyrics from Mr. Eddie Vedder himself.
"Long Nights"
Have no fear
For when I'm alone
I'll be better off than I was before
I've got this light
I'll be around to grow
Who I was before
I cannot recall
Long nights allow me to feel...
I'm falling...I am falling
The lights go out
Let me feel
I'm falling
I am falling safely to the ground
Ah...
I'll take this soul that's inside me now
Like a brand new friend
I'll forever know
I've got this light
And the will to show
I will always be better than before
Long nights allow me to feel...
I'm falling...I am falling
The lights go out
Let me feel
I'm falling
I am falling safely to the ground
Way to go! I'm off work next week and I'm going to call and make an appt. with a nutritionist. You've inspired me to get with it and do what needs to be done to help manage my PCOS. I've also got 3 free visits with a trainer, so hopefully that will give me the kickstart I need to drop some much needed l-b's.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you're feeling good. Keep up the good work!
