Its a Waiting Game

In a word, things have been stressful. We are stuck in the mud right now, trying to get motivated again after suffering a loss in our family. It happened a few days ago and the initial waves of grief have passed, so now I am off a cliff and into a ditch. Hopefully a shallow one. 

I am alone a lot due to the nature my husbands career, so being alone plus unmotivated...is not a good place to be. 

Enter my motivator:







Yikes he doesn't seem too motivated either. Looks like his energy feeds off mine. In fact, it seems a lot of the creatures and small humans in my house feed off of my energy. How do you bounce back?

I read somewhere that you should treat this...let's call it a small bout of depression...like a cold or a physical ailment. You need to take some me time, rest, eat well, maybe give yourself a lazy day. Then regroup. So that's what I am going to do. 

By 'day' I mean few hours...because as a mom, you don't get a 'day'. Hopefully it still helps. 

Of course the old saying is always, always, always annoyingly true. This too shall pass. Give it time.
