Health check in and other news

It’s been a couple of weeks since I posted my note on what I’m planning on doing with my health recently, so I thought that I would check in and let you guys know how I’m doing!

A note on self care and health

Hey there all you wonderful people! I have been thinking about doing a post like this for a while now as this is something that I have been struggling with for about 3 years or so now. Most people that know me know that I’m a very hard worker and my family knows that I have a hard time saying no to anyone that has a need of any kind, unless I absolutely can’t do it. So, I guess that you could say that I have worked my body into the ground in the last few years, and it has taken me hanging onto the tiniest of threads to wake me up to the fact that I need to make some changes before my body is permanently damaged.

Knitting, health, and wildfires

I have decided to tear apart my sweater! Yes, I know, it sounds a little crazy, but here is the deal – I didn’t like the way it fit, I wasn’t inclined to wear it as it was, I now know what I need to do to change the pattern, and so I have decided to tear it all apart and start over and make a sweater that really fits me and that I will want to wear. I didn’t really want to have to do this, but I would rather have a sweater that fits me “perfectly”!

Flying by the seat of our pants

Well! We had a pretty crazy Easter weekend, but there’s still a lot to be thankful for and to praise God about on this beautiful day! Even though it is long over-due, here you go anyway –
Hallelujah! Christ is risen! 😀

Tea time!

There is just something about starting your day with a cup of tea or coffee that makes a person happy. Honestly, just the process of making tea makes me happy! I love listening to the water bowl in the pot, smelling the beautiful aromas of an herbal or spiced black tea, and “hugging” a cup of something hot. It’s so calming and comforting!

Protective gear

This week I read a very sad article about a young woman who died this week after sustaining head injuries while barrel racing. It has caused a debate about helmets and whether they should be a requirement, and as I make it a point to never ride without a helmet, I thought that I would put my two-cents in.

New Glasses!

Yay! I’m so happy! 😀 I have been waiting for these beauties for a while!

I’ve been having headaches over the past month or so and it has been because my last pair of glasses were damaged well beyond the point of recommended use. Oops! I guess that once you start getting cracks in your lenses, you should probably look for new ones.
