In the last month my life has taken several unexpected turns. I started a new job which is wonderful, challenging and lots of fun. I am busy all day and my step counter shows by the end of the day. I usually have my 10,000 step goal met by the time I head home after work.
At the other end of the feelings spectrum, my precious dog, The Princess, passed from this life. I was all right with making that hard decision to have her euthanized. Yet since her passing I am struggling with missing her. Sometimes I seem to see her lying in one of her usual spots out of the corner of my eye. Then I look again and realize she is no longer with me. I sometimes hear her barking in the middle of the night. I know this is just the pathways of my brain letting go of memories, but it just brings the loss back to me again and again. Knowing The Princess it is very possible her spirit is still with me.
With my new job and lots more activity I am coming home at night just exhausted. My plan is to get back to working out to focus on strength and core fitness. Yet by the time I am home and get everything done, working out is the last thing on my list. Fortunately I do get plenty of steps every day.
So it is time for a reboot of my goals for this year. I plan to find the time for strength and core training. I love how I feel and how strong I was getting doing this type of activity. I will make time to get back to my writing. I have skipped writing in this blog for a few weeks. My goal is to do a post every week.
The only person who is going to make me physically strong and feel relevant today is me. I need to focus on what is good for me and make time to do the things I enjoy. I am in the midst of settling into my new job and will find my new normal soon.
