A peaceful view of my short walk earlier

20 Replies

I'm sleep deprived, less than 4 hours the past 2 nights. No naps today but went on a short walk to wake up.

These horses reside a street over (behind me), I'm lucky that I can absorb a scenery like this on my runs/walks. This offsets the craziness in the world for me.

Lack of sleep feeds my anxiety, I've been less than productive. A walk was nice, will need cold water in my face soon too. 😢😢

Horses are amazing! I have five of them. Horses are very therapeutic. Thats why equine therapy works so much. Im glad that you had a nice walk. sometimes thats all we need to clear our head.

Beautiful mares! It’s nice to just appreciate the small stuff... looks like these horse are pretty relaxed. I think public should take a lesson from these guys... slow down, breath and look at the beauty of nature and all creatures!

Ok sorry spoke too soon... forgot about late lunch I had in oven.... took it out, ate and then realized I had not vacuumed yet and it’s friday so it’s floors day.... ya I keep to my list quite strictly and it also started raining again... will get out this weekend catch a few sunsets and sunrises, animals, trees, piles of snow and mud and such... 😂😊

wish I had the sleep to get all that done. If you got any energy left send it my way.

I think I might have solved my sleep issue, I need to stop taking a vitamin supplant I started last week. I’ve had elevated heart rate for a week now, so not normal. Not taking it today my heart rate has gone back to my norm. Hope I get my norm sleep and I be back to to what you’re doing.

I’ll look forward to pics. Maybe you can catch a rainbow today. Those are rare..but beautiful if you can catch one. Enjoy your evening. 🌺💜🌺💜🌺

It’s not energy.. it’s a new strain of kush I found... it allows me to think clear, slow the spinning to the point I can handle 1 crap thing at a time my brain pushes to my conscious mind... it’s like night and day difference! I also don’t have the sativa side effect of body buzz brain fog...

It helps me sleep so all in all it’s a win for me and those around me not having to suffer thru paranoid anxious super b... I’m gonna mix it 1:1 with CBD so when nerve block wears off I can be out of pain and not running on emotion. 😆

in reply to CanuckAnon

Gosh this sounds amazing. And helps sleep too...major WIN WIN.

I’ve got CBD oil here to experiment with for sleep, I just haven’t wanted to give up any hours or minutes of less sleep in case it didn’t work. But look at me, I took a new vitamin (that has side effects of sleep issues that I just found, cause I had no idea why I would think it would do that, it’s a mineral) and lost sleep anyways.

I’m usually running on caffeine and anxiety most days. 🤣🤣🤣

Ya I know the coffee, anxiety diet plan well.... the only thing that got a workout was the spinning hamster wheel in my head... 😂

There are herbal supplements that can have adverse effects for sure... sucks u lost sleep... what was it if u don’t mind me asking?!

CBD for me is like really effective Advil ... it’s strictly for pain. THC is for muscle pain sometimes, stress/tension, mood, slow me down (ADHD)... never agreed with speeding me up to slow me down. Slowing me down makes anxiety easier to manage for me at least 🤞🏻I’m not overwhelmed with emotions as much😊 still happens but I have time to correct my mindset atm.

I want to see too! I am the crazy horse obsessed lady. What kind do you have? I have princess who is an apaloosa miniature horse, Rosey who is an Appaloosa, Comet is an Arabian, sunny is a quarterhorse and beauty is a morgan (she has so much red in her black though it mesmerizes me)

I use to have Bentley too but he passed away. He was a beautiful gypsy vanner which I hate calling him that because its a irish cob. They created the name in the united states just to get profit. They are still a rare breed over here in the states but they are the breed that is abandoned all over the uk and ireland and often end up dead over there because they are over populated. The amount you pay in the states for one you can pay the same amount and get two imported and saved from Ireland and the United Kingdom. Its heartbreaking.

They lifted my tired old eyes today, it’s something to share with everyone to not forget the little things, there’s still beauty and things to appreciate, even when your exhausted. 😂

Thanks for stopping in. 🌺💜🌺💜

Hi RoxyDawn,

I too have issues shutting down at night. Ive toyed with getting a night stocking job to fill the time. I have nothing enlightening to share with you. I just wanted you to know, you are not alone. The picture of your walk are beautiful. Thank you for sharing it.

in reply to mysticfawn

Thank you so much. I’ve been having a long discussion just now with my husband about my sleep, I got less than 4 again last night. He’s begging me to drag out an old sleep med I used to take to give me some sleep tonight...I’m pretty much a basket case as I’ve suffered less sleep since the time change and the moon phase. Yep that dang lunar moon, I’m blaming it all on that.

....just kidding on the lunar moon. I appreciate your kinds words, means a lot. 🌹💖
