I’ve been taking a little time off the internet not completely, but I’ve definitely been cutting back the last few days. I just needed to put my phone down and focus on me. Sometimes self-care isn’t just face masks and skincare routines it’s quiet, disconnecting, and processing.
I didn’t blog yesterday. My computer stayed mostly off. And honestly? That’s okay.
We all have those processing days, especially when we’re healing from trauma or working through big emotions. For me, Fridays are counseling days, and sometimes they leave me feeling a little raw, a little tender. I try to show up the best I can but some days, that means stepping back. And I give myself grace for that.
Today was a little better. Still processing, but I'm proud of myself for continuing to do the work. Healing is hard. Showing up is hard. But I’m here, and I’m choosing to stay on the path. I’m also incredibly happy for my son and his wife they’re doing amazing, and that fills my heart. Life isn’t perfect for anyone, but it’s about staying strong, learning, doing the work, and letting go of the ego so we can keep showing up better.
Now Fourth of July plans!
We definitely have some fun things lined up this year. My granddaughter loves it, so I always try to make it extra special. I can’t wait to celebrate with her. ✨🎆
Tomorrow is another “one over” day you know me! I’m always doing a deep clean. I really do love having a spotless house, so I stay on top of it constantly. There are always errands, and today was no different. Next week looks packed too appointments everywhere but I’m hoping to carve out a little downtime to balance it all out with the holiday.
I was actually invited out tonight, but let me be honest I’m not about that scene. Never have been, never will be. I’d so much rather stay in, chill, and be at peace in my own space.
I hope everyone had a beautiful Saturday. Sending hugs, as always. 💛
