Taking better care of yourself

I always thought I'd be good at one of those remote jobs (e.g., fire tower) where you're alone all the time. But after moving here, I got too much alone time. So I make the most of the appreciation I receive from others, like my language partners and trivia game participants.

Exercise doesn't make me feel loved. But lately I've started listening to science and astronomy podcasts while I exercise. I love that! I feel like I'm listening to the best story ever.
 

Make myself feel loved and appreciated? Seriously?

Lemme tell ya: find me in the garden.

Deliver me from people who "mean well." They don't.

Dear Doc:
Let me eat whatever the heck pleases me. I spent too many years eating what was "good" for me.
Don't prescribe another medication; I already live my life by when the clock tells me to take meds.
Don't need a reminder to exercise. I get plenty of that at work. Plenty.
 
Well today, I feel kind of down. I confided to my best friend and she just dismissed it with a weather reply. I talked about that under forum here: "Things that Drives You Crazy..."

Here's what I've said... After she'd ask questions about my dating views as for her it's a second marriage.

"I know I need to heal my heart firstly. But after 5 long years grieving and recovering from losing our son, I was hoping to get our retirement planned.

Now, I'm alone with extra responsibilities as we shared them before, you know? I'm hopeful, from past experiences, that things will get better. Fingers crossed... They say things happen for a reason. Maybe there's a new love in my future, who knows, hey?

At least, I've got good friends now, more than I had before. Here's hoping we'll find the silver lining in the clouds. Have a great day friend!"

Then I pressed send. Maybe I shouldn't but currently crying šŸ˜­. Sorry!
