Put to shame!

I have been feeling sorry for myself lately ....you know, legs aching tired etc; the mirtzapine has helped depression and panic attacks.

I had to go to Halfords this afternoon (forced myself) and on the way back home I saw an old neighbour who has spondyllitis or similar....she was walking down the road with her head nearly touching her chest and put me to shame. I just thought how lucky I was to be able to walk and move my head and arms. Will try not tobe a misery in the future!

Soory about rant....can'tguarantee not to have a little moan in the morning

Always good to have a rant. I know the feeling. I ranted to my cycling buddy this morning when struggling up a hill I used to pride myself on zipping up. Mate, you’re doing it. It’s a beautiful morning, it doesn’t matter if you’re slow. Just enjoy what you can do. Can’t say fairer than that. 😉😉

You were out of the house.

You were on a bike!

You were cycling up a hill!

YOU ARE A SUPERSTAR IN MY MIND'S EYE!

Shame is a completely redundant emotion but feeling grateful for small mercies is good. I hope your mood is lifting, that little burst of empathy could be a sign. I hope so! 🌹

Well I am proud to say I made myself go out today....hopefully on the mend. Really grateful I have to say👏🏻

Have that rant... have that moan. And then come back to centre. Exhale.

Yes sometimes we need to see others worse off than ourselves- makes us feel grateful for everything we've got.
