A Busy Weekend

Sometimes is just what I need.

This past weekend was a busy one spending time with family, celebrating a late Mother’s Day, house guests, a 5K run, and tickets to a show. I even took Monday off knowing I would need a little time to recover and get the weekly household chores and errands done.

I was looking forward to the events of the weekend, knowing that my day-to-day would be on hold and I would try to keep up with my writing and goals as much as I could. After all of the excitement of the weekend was over I realized I needed that time and it almost felt like a mini vacation truly enjoying myself with those closest to me along with seeing that I’m working towards my goals of a healthier lifestyle for weekends and moments like this.

Sometimes I just get caught up with the day-to-day, to-do lists, errands, chores, working my regular job, writing, and working towards my goal of a healthier lifestyle. This weekend reminded me that while I have to be productive it is also good to break from the day-to-day sometimes and enjoy myself and time with friends and family. Just like I need a vacation sometimes I also need bonding time and new experiences with those closest to me.

This doesn’t mean that every weekend can be full of events and laughs but I can find balance and I can make more time for these types of things. While I strive toward a healthier lifestyle and I also want to make sure I am maintaining balance in my life.

What motivated me to start working towards a healthier lifestyle was being sick with Lyme Disease for ten months undiagnosed and another six months of antibiotics and recovery. During that time I realized I didn’t want to be sick all the time and tied down to different medicines and I knew I needed to get healthier.

In moments, weekends, and times like this, I realize how far I’ve come and that this is what all the hard work is about. When I was sick I would have missed plans based on how I was feeling, whether I was too tired and if the Lyme anxiety and panic attacks were taking over. Now I can have these days without worrying about how I am feeling and truly enjoy them.

While I continue to put in the work towards my goals this weekend made me realize that the hard work is worth it and how far I’ve come.
