Happy Friday everyone.
Phew! This week was totally unexpected.
My allergies kicked into high gear this week and I had to give myself a lot of grace to be able to do what I needed to do this week. In this season of my life, my allergies present itself in the way of loosing my voice and a really terrible sounding cough BUT I otherwise feel great- weirdly enough.
After work each night, instead of working on posts or doing other things, I laid in bed and caught up on shows I've been neglecting. It has been nice to breathe for a bit and while its hard for me to sit still, I think it was a blessing in disguise this week.
At first I was sad I didn't get Wednesday's post completed but I said to myself, that's okay! You can only do what you can. Giving yourself grace is so important in these situations and I am really proud that I listened to my body and rested.
I haven't been to the gym in over a week now and yet again, at first I was upset with myself but I realized that to be able to work out I need to feel good and I can't feel good if I don't listen to my body.
Giving myself grace this week also allowed me to prioritize what I was doing at work and I was able to accomplish just about everything on my to do list and not feel overwhelmed. In doing so, I think I figured out a good system how I can make my to do lists more manageable. I am excited to test it some more.
One morning, I stopped at Starbucks to pick up a Medicine Ball on the way to work. I went through the drive through and when I got up to the window to pay, I asked for a receipt. The woman in the window leans on her arms and faces me and asks " do you Fetch?" I was caught off guard by this question but then smiled as I realized what she meant- Do I use Fetch to scan my receipts and collect points to cash in for gift cards? HECK YES I responded and we had the sweetest conversation while I waited for my drink to be made. I told her this gift card I am using today, was from the points on Fetch! I drove away with a HUGE smile on my face. What an unexpected conversation about scanning receipts.

Oh, don't forget to give yourself grace!

Aw, sorry to hear you were feeling under the weather but you're right in that you need to listen to your body and just rest... as I say this with authority like I'm so good at just resting myself! Ha! Aren't we all just awful at this??
