Welcome to my Weekend Coffee Share, hosted by Allison at Eclecti Ali.
My online course is winding down! Work keeps me busy as ever, but I missed a day and a half this last week due to sinus/allergy problems or a cold. I needed the rest, but it seems many of my students missed me, which makes me feel good!
My son is becoming an adult, working steadily and learning new things, and I have no one to take care of but…myself. Last night, he said, “I sometimes wish I was on my own, but you all (his grandma and I) keep me out of trouble.” What a wonderful acknowledgment! So I am taking care of myself now, per the request of my brain and body. I’m going to pilates this morning and having a massage this afternoon. It takes a village to keep my mind/body straight and work out my knots. I am willing to accept help and have sought it. I also have a friend meeting me at pilates, so there may be a coffee chat for us afterward as well, since I only had half of a half-caff (can you do the Math? 🙂
I finally finished editing and processing my physical therapy journey and what I’ve learned and still am learning on pain’s connection to the brain. You can read it here: Pain, Growth, and Making a Truce with My Brain Let me know if you are not able to read it all. It is a different blogging site for me, as I am branching out. However, hardly anyone knows me there.
I am also considering a new post in a series I used to do called “My Exercise Evolution.” I may be able to get a post out this coming week. Then, within two weeks, I will be a novelist again, editing and proofing the Malachi manuscript! Woohoo! it is like a mother who misses her grown child. At least I see the light at the end of the tunnel…
I hope the weather is nice where you are; I know I have enjoyed having dog snuggles the last few nights, as it was in the thirties last night. *shivers*
Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have a great weekend!

I hope you are on the mend. I understand about knots and massage – I have to have massage every other week or I will knot up so I can barely move… Glad you will be back to novelist mode soon! I finished the second draft of my WIP last September and haven’t touched it since 😦 i need to get back into novelist mode myself… Hope your up coming week is a good one, with no sick days 🙂

Like the Medium.com article. Thanks! … The “just say no” reminder, also, calls up memories of organizations in my past that seemed to swallow people up, not recognizing that its needs do not necessarily turn any one member into its solution. Anxiety-making in and of itself. Best wishes for your week!

There are days when the non-stop blur of demands on my time and mind just leave me exhausted. It sounds like you have a similar cycle going for you. I wish I had a literary wand, you know, the words that would just fix everything for you, but if it were that easy, we both would have figured it out on our own by now. Hang in there my friend. Your diligence to get through this will take you to a place of health and wellness – I so predict.

The weather this side can’t quite decide if it wants to be hot or cold and rainy or experience all three seasons in one day.
