RELAX... Do you have a pet?

Exercise helps which is good because you're doing it but how often?

I walk most days and I get wound up when I miss a day. Sometimes it's hard to get motivated but I know I'll feel like crap and not sleep if I don't walk.
Blood sugar is all over the place. Diabetes runs in my family and my older brother is on medication.

How much time do you have for yourself? Just YOU time???

I fix things and restore old stuff for friends. Sometimes I just go for a walk in town or a public garden and take film photos.
I have a pavement cycle. It's basically a mountain bike with smooth tires and no suspension.
Just hop and go. No plan just peddle. and peddle... Usually end up at a place called Glenelg (30kms away). It's on the beach and lots of young people are there.
Try to stay away from negative or energy sapping people. I know it can be hard but try anyway. And if there's someone you can't get away from just listen or pretend to.

Some times I'm so wound up I feel like I'm broken or about to burst. I just take a deep breath and pat my cat.

I've raised three kids on my own and there have been some moments. My girls will be 21 and 22 this year and both don't live with me anymore.
My son, 15 is a PITA. I have to encourage him to do just about everything. If I didn't insist he wouldn't shower or brush his teeth.
And I get stressed... I comb his hair for him because it's long. He won't cut it but he doesn't look after it. So it falls to me to insist he has a shower and wash his hair.
I hate to say it but he's so much like my ex wife. She was just bone lazy and that used to piss me off big time. I thank the Sweet Jesus everyday because she left.

Just look after yourself. Do the things that make you feel good. You can change.
