HOW DO YOU SPELL RELIEF? I SPELL IT...


R-U-N-N-I-N-G!

Had a weird day today...FOUR disappointing things happened. Nothing earth shaking, just strange that all these things happened today:

1) What we thought was my son's last appearance in court for throwing biscuit dough is not. We get to go back in January with the other boys to determine restitution.

2) I get a letter from my other son's school about an opportunity and it is supposed to be returned by November 30. Yeah, today is December 1.

3) A friend cancelled on me.

4) The installation guys for our theater room don't show, don't show, and we finally call and realize there was a mistake in scheduling...they're coming Tuesday, December 8.

Yeah, so instead of crying I went running. It helped a little. Then I went and ripped out all my dead sweet potatoe plants, tomato plants and that purple-viney thing and threw them in the trash...and I am reminding myself, I AM SO BLESSED. I AM THE DAUGHTER OF THE KING! GET OVER IT.

Robin - I just love reading your posts. You are so right and I needed to hear that I'm daughter of the King too! Thank you!

Doesn't running make you feel better? It always calms me down, no matter if I'm mad or excited. I love to run.

Yes, but there is something thrilling about ripping things out of the ground and thorwing them in the trash...it makes me feel better too!

I love this post! Running is how I destress too! Glad you had an outlet and thanks for the reminder too!

Sorry you had a bad day! Glad you found some constructive ways to deal with it.

Hope today was much better! Very true on the last part, though.

I did the same thing with my clematis the other day. Made everything so much better. Running-I usually wait until spring to get back out again. Too cold!
