Update on me... for those that care...
I have been feeling really down for a few weeks now...I was feeling yucky physically and emotionally. I am pretty sure I have a bulging disc and have been dealing with decompression treatments and back pain. The treatments have been helping a bunch! So I am feeling a little better physically. I have also been keeping an eye on my sugar levels. I am trying to concentrate on eating more frequently and trying to eat better things too. Sleep is still troublesome, because I dont want to go to bed til 3am! So my focus is to try to get to bed earlier. I really want to get back to running also. There is a 5K in October and I have thought about running it with Michelle. I really need a push to train. I am just so not motivated! So if anyone wants to give me shit about it, please do. I need to be held accountable. haha!
Emotionally, I really miss Cody and I have felt a little alone lately. I have been trying to focus on being with friends. I have been focusing on new friends. I met Bekah a while back and we have gotten really close over the last few months. She is such an awesome girl! (she reminds me of myself when I was a few years younger! haha!). And my girl, Marissa, has been a shoulder for me to lean on. I was really down last week and she really pulled me out of the dirt. I have lowered my expectations with my friends out of necessity because my heart kept getting hurt. I felt like a lot of my friends havent been there. I am truely blessed that I have these two great women in my life! Keep your fingers crossed that Ris gets this job she interviewed for last week!
As far as my business goes, I am super busy! I am taking on another MT's clients. She has some health issues and wont be able to practice any longer. I am extremely grateful to her for offering up her practice. I have been trying to get some coupons and info out to these people. I am looking forward to the next few months and meeting some new people.
I have recently decided to enroll in school. I am hoping to start in January, and I will be attending BSU. I am super excited! I miss school and love learning...I know it will be hard but I know that I will succeed. I have always knew in the back of my head that I wouldnt being doing Massage forever. Its very hard on my body and I get wore out more with my back issues. I really love what I do. I get to help people and really spend quality time with them. I have considered Chiropractic for a number of years, but I also know that it is a very stressful and strenuous profession. I have also considered counseling for a number of years. I used to work with a LMHC and I saw first hand what that profession looks like. I have also been a patient for a few years and I have seen how it can really help during rough times. My goal is to do this. I really believe that I will be great at helping others. I value that quality time with people and I want to do something that enriches the lives of others. I told my counselor and she was super excited. It was the affirmation I needed. I feel good knowing that she believes its a good fit for me. So we will see how I feel about it when I get started in my classes. I am really looking forward to learning a new about myself in a new way. I feel good about stepping outside of my comfort zone and learning a new profession. I may even join the two. I have heard about the benefits of "bodywork". (which includes massage and counseling). :)
AND...I have a vacation coming up! I will be spending two weeks in Oklahoma! I still have to arrange for puppy-kitty-care. haha! But I cant wait! I have never been to OK, and Im not sure what amazing things await me. I just cant wait to see Cody! :)
My family is doing well. I am super proud of my brother, Willie. He started BSU this month and is on his way to being the first of us with a 4 year degree! I miss my fam that lives in Sullivan, but Im hoping to see them for Thanksgiving!
I am really enjoying my kids and my house. I have much to be grateful for...and I am really proud of myself. I have had nothing handed to me and working for everything I have has really been a learning experience. I believe in me.
