Time Flies

Time flies when your having a crisis, No matter how small it is. It messes up your life and any schedule you might have. Its all I can do to get up, and I solved that issue, just sleeping in my chair. Not good, but better than staying in bed all day. I know that one of my biggest triggers is not having money to do the basic things, like veggies, gas to just get out of the house and explore. sigh.......But I try to remind myself that I am truly blessed, and I am. But as someone with a mental illness, we need extra care, as with any one with a physical illness. they need their meds. So, using my baby step tool, I have made it to today. Feeling better and looking forward to my therapy session this morning. Life can be good, if we take care of ourselves. It is not selfish to do so.
What a wonderful Wednesday. I got to go to The Painted Turtle Studio, thanks to Daphne Erhardt and Mike Erhardt. They gave me gas money. I love going to the Studio, it helps keeping me on the straight and narrow. I don't do any unnecessary driving and when I go out I plan to get as much done as I can. Truck needs new plugs, I can smell that it is kinda flooding. sigh......Anyway, picked up my new little people, wow what a difference in them since the first ones. Trying to figure out how I am going to finish them. So many choices. Love that stoneware.
I was able to teach one of the afterschool kids. We worked in clay. She is making her mom something for Mothers Day. She really enjoyed it and is ready to come back next week and do more. Pretty much a quiet day up until she came. I have been wanting to make some more buttons. And to design something for Kay Woodward to use on her purses. Think maybe I created something to start off with. Going to do a clay bead making class, so starting making tiny stamps to use. It was an awesome day. Praising God for his blessings, and allowing me to have the talent of art.
So dear ones I leave this thought with you today, I need baby steps. Its how I am making it thru this latest challenge. Its hard for me, I have always been the mover, the one who gets it done, Deeeep Breath. Life has changed dramatically for me, and I am learning slowing that I can not go back, even to the good.
So be blessed today, remember to take care of yourself.
