New Year new beginnings... 2019 was a horrible year for me. Health wise speaking and emotionally as well. But I’m thankful that I had my significant other beside me all the year through. He is so precious to me. ❤️ We started the year with a road trip from South Georgia to the FL Keys. Quite a trip. It was all fun except my night time anxiety and panic attacks. They crawl in at night when I’m sleeping and just BOOOM! Wake me up and that’s it... no more sleep. However I have learned that fighting it does not help.. on the contrary. I affirm over and over... It won’t kill me. Breathe in and out, count backwards and get your chamomile hot tea going. I usually take my anxiety meds like 2 hours prior to bedtime so I am relaxed when going to sleep but it wears off during the night and gives the anxiety a chance to flare up.
Also I realize I need to be more active. During our trip we walked a lot and I felt great except for my knees that started hurting. Well at 66 what can you expect? But I also have put on some extra weight that needs to come off. So I enrolled in WW program online and start today.
I’m excited and hoping for the best. To all of you my friends I wish you a healthy year and that I can be of help and inspiration in any way. We are after all a family... I’d like to share this amazing sunset we experienced in Key West. Hugs, M
