Below is an Irish blessing for everyone at PA!xoxo
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
Until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

RisingUp Check-In 1/28 Mon.
I need to have a venting check-in today, will post task list separately.
It's Monday, and I don't feel good!!
I want my mommy, waaaaahhhh (just kidding, sort of)
I'm doing everything right, but just feel panicky and out of sorts. Having the signs of an impending cold is not helping. I already went for my walk, ate fruit and vitamin C, etc.
Now I just would like to work, followed by applying for a job. I am going to have to break this down and be OKAY with just doing what's in front of me. My perfectionism has me wanting to do it all in one day! That's not possible, or fair to myself. It's enough to do the task clearly at hand.
I think I will do my back stretches right now just because without them it will be difficult to do my work.
Just sneezed 3 times. God bless me!!! Lord thank you for healing me and please prevent me from getting what my bf has. Thank you.

gotmusikk's Monday
After a nutso weekend, I *want* to do all my routines again. I want to be on track. I want stability.
Progress, not perfection.
Consistency over emergencies.
Do the thing that feels healthy, not "shouldy" or escapist.
