I'm so thankful that Friday was a PD day here..we were able to get away an hours drive to Ikea, and then the fun mall nearby with The Disney Store. I was able to just be with my family and breathe.
And this morning, I was able to escape and join my knitters and fritters crew for some much needed 'me time'. I think it's been over 2 months since I've seen them last! There's babies, a busker playing a great soundtrack for our visit, beautiful show and tells, delish coffee and dutch fritters, great conversations, people stopping to ask us about our stuff, and it's just SOOO nice!
We knit in a coffee roastery in a farmers market, so I was also able to wander and buy some local and not-so-local veggies. And I don't know what it is, but that experience makes me feel so alive and so at peace. It reminds me that I love to cook. It makes me stop and breathe.
And I see the haul I got for $15 and smile. (see that sweet potato? it's almost the size of a FOOTBALL..and it's local...I can't wait to create with that sucker!)
And now? It's time I got back to work immediately...the clock is ticking and deadlines are very near...better grab a cup of 'soothe' tea first and remember to breathe..

Aw. I hate those days. It's nice that you were able to have a day to refresh. Feeling better? That's an awesome haul by the way for $15 -
Big hugs to you chickee! Glad things were turned around and you felt better in the end.
Gosh, I wish we had such things as a farmer's market here. We pay way too much for produce here.
That overwhelmed feeling is no fun, glad you were able to have some relaxed time with family and friends. Hopefully that was helpful and you're feeling less stressed now...you have it right....just breathe:)
It sounds like you had a great day. Hopefully you were able to de-stress a bit. We all need a day to relax ever now and then.

Take a bath, put your feet up and do some breathing exercises put your hand on your heart to further recharge...

You really do just need to take time to breathe. Nothing is worth getting yourself upset about. Do what you can when you can and everything else will fall into place, eventually :) Hugs
I think at some point everyone has had a breakdown like that after feeling overwhelmed it shows that we are human. I am glad you were able to find things that you enjoyed doing and made you happy have a fabulous day :)
Just breathe Christy. I know it's hard to do sometimes... trust me I do! But, it's really the only way to survive. And remember... you can only do so much... So it might be time to start saying "no." And no one will think bad of you for it. Take care of you, because you are the only one we've got! Praying for you!!
Aww! :( I'm really sorry to hear last week was so overwhelming for you! I have very much been in that boat prior and can sympathize with how horrible it can make you feel.
Hopefully this upcoming week will treat you 1000% better! If not, just take it one day at a time!
Feeling you pain...sometimes life's stress makes you want to scream! Glad you found peace among those beautiful veggies!
(((Hugs))) I have been there too. It sounds like you have a great support system though. Those veggies look awesome, and the price! Can't beat that! Hope you have a good day today. :)
Those veggies are making me hungry, lol. I crave vegetables and that's a great price for them. There's nothing better than fresh, healthy vegetables to put a smile on your face.
