Keep Your Head Up

On Sunday, I was in a “funky” mood. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but I just didn’t feel myself. I got some chores done around the house, did some tasks to prepare for our trip and had some time to myself. So nothing abnormal about the day. When Marshall and chatted about it, it is when you realize that this was the outcome of dealing with all that has happened recently in our lives - the graduation, COVID, work craziness, the house still being in a state of transition, friends in similar situations and not seeing them. 

I forced myself to get outside on my walk and listen to my “happy” Pandora station as I knew the outdoors would do me good. And, it was just what the doctor ordered - good songs with the messages I needed to hear and catching a rainbow too after being sprinkled on a bit. As I walked through the rain, I was reminded that without the rain, there is no rainbow (which I wrote about recently). Still true. 

Song that came on during my walk “Keep your head up” I’m trying!

I was able to enjoy it for a good portion of my walk 

Coal Creek flowing pretty well 

I’m reminded from my self compassion course that all feelings are valid and you can’t change the past. “Living in the Moment”
