Mind in transition

This blog is about me, my family, and my social work career.

I'm confused, but still faithful; opinionated, but still thoughtful; steady, but still growing.

I might like this?

Had a very unusual thing happen yesterday. I was feeling stressed. Not the usual stress. Rather highly stressed. And I knew I was in danger of taking some of that out on my family. I briefly considered a rendevous with Mr. Christie, but realized: 1) it wouldn't solve the stress or dissipate it, and 2) I would create more stress as I would feel guilty and stupid for doing something that does not fit with my goals.

I also realized: 3) what I really wanted to do was go for a walk. A walk?!?!?! I hate exercise, even in minute forms. But for the last 4 weeks I've been making myself do some kind of light exercise, which is usually walking, 3x a week for 20 minutes. It's kind of nice. Relaxing. And yesterday, I really wanted to walk. So I did. I put Conor in the Trekker and the girls in the wagon and walked to my chiropractor's office since I've been so sore lately. The walk actually did not help the soreness but did help my mood. This is revolutionary for me. To think that my new lifestyle changes might be something I come to enjoy? Wow! Who would have thought?

Could use some prayer. Don't really feel like talking about what it's about. Just ask God to meet us. He knows what we need.
