Good Morning! I hope everyone is having a good day today! We got a TON of snow - Im very grateful for loving in laws that gave us their old snow blower! The foot and a half we got would have been very painful shoveling - and since I was in a funky funk yesterday it would not have gone well.
I just came out of a 3 day funk - which IM happy to say is one of my shortest funks ever. I was doing ok in the beginning of the week and then bam Thursday hit and it was going through the motions.
The good news is - I was able to get out of bed. I was able to go to work. I wasnt the most productive member of society - but I could get some things done. I wasnt at the top of my game, but I was in the game.
This is HUGE for me. Normally I wouldnt get out of bed. I would convince myself I was sick - usually stomach problems - not go to work - come back get in trouble for lack of attendance - go into victim mode and then come out and be the superstar employee.
The fact that I showed up is a big step for me. I did the best I could without pushing myself over the edge and I took it easy on myself. I allowed myself naps, which I normally dont do - as I try very hard to stick with a routine. I allowed myself to feel what I was feeling and just roll with it.
It helped allot that we got pounded with snow as no one expects you to go out and do things when theres a ton of snow.
So that helped me "hide" a bit.
This morning I woke up much more cheerier than usual. Ive decided I am going to go to a friends superbowl party. Im going to ride with another friend who has two boys so they cant stay up late, so we will have to leave somewhat early which will help me get back into a routine. And IM going to have lunch with my new sponsor and her family to get that part of my life back in line.
coming out of a deep depression about a week ago and going into this funk scares me - but overall - Im proud of how Ive handled things. I dont always handle things the best, but IM learning.
So, so far, today is a good day and IM going to take advantage of it and enjoy it......
I hope everyone else is having a good day and if not - please let us know.....
God Bless!

Such a positive and uplifting post...you are conquering some of your demons!! Way to go. It's in the deciding isn't it?
I've had many days like you have recently. Sometimes I choose to be the victim. Sometimes I truly AM sick. It's always hard for me to discern illness. Sometimes I just trudge thru the day...getting somethings done. Sometimes I choose to be the superstar employee. It's knowing that I have a choice. I get to decide...that's what's important.
Sounds like you've got a great plan laid out for tonight. My husband and I are deciding whether to go to the party we're invited to. It all depends on me. I'll get a nap in so I can be fresh if we go.
The sun is out today...that is such a big help. We've had so much snow this winter...and so many dreary days. It's hard to stay up and positive when my body says hibernate.
God's Blessings
I'm very proud of you...

Thanks Shelly!
It is nice to have the decision and to be able to somewhat manage it. Im pretty tired today too - I think this snow is making me want to hibernate too...
I think a nap might have to happen although IM trying so hard to get into a routine...but that will come....
Enjoy your superbowl party!
