Productive Day

Being on call today gave me the much needed extra time to finish cleaning and get everything on my list done. My dishes have been washed and put away. The kitchen floor has been swept, vacuumed, and mopped. The living room has been picked up and vacuumed. It's a lovely feeling to have everything neat and tidy. I'm hoping it stays this way! Today, I'm thankful for the motivation that I had to get everything accomplished. I will also admit that I did allow myself to break down for a bit and have a good cry. After I was done, I picked myself up and moved on. Nothing will be accomplished if you stay down in your own pity party. No one but yourself is gonna pull yourself out, so why make it cozy down there all by yourself? It's something I still struggle with, but I'm getting better about letting things go. I allow myself a minute to do what I need to do- which is usually cry for a bit- but then, instead of staying in that mopey place, I stand up and move on. I'm not perfect at it yet, but I'm getting there.
