Rough start

3 days in and it's been a rough start.

I've been fighting a cold or some other bug for the past week almost, and it's making me so exhausted.  On New Year's Eve, I fell asleep after dinner and didn't wake up until 11:59. On Saturday I fell asleep at 6 and slept till 8 the next morning. Who am I?!

Then, yesterday, I had two moles removed from my back. I didn't think about how that would affect my resolutions.  I have to limit my movement as much as possible so as to not stretch the skin and turn the scars into giant, ugly things.  So....I guess resolution #1 is going to have a late start.

So number 2...be kind to myself.  This has been tougher than I thought it would be.  Maybe it's my extreme exhaustion talking, but I need to think happier thoughts.  I used to be the biggest optimist I know - and in many ways I still am - I'm just too hard on myself.  Isn't there just an off switch I can pull?

#3... So far so good, I think.  I was pretty busy yesterday but I took all of Tuesday off and we made breakfast this morning together.  So I'll call this one a win.

So maybe I'm not off the start I had imagined, but in keeping with goal 2 (being kind to myself)...I'm gonna cut myself some slack .  I can't help that I am sick, and I definitely can't argue with the rest needed after a medical procedure...so this weeks goal is to stay motivated and to stay positive.
I just need to remember that everyone thinks my life is perfect because I have so many blessings and great things in it.  I just need to put my focus on those things and trust that my deep dark secrets will someday turn into blessings as well.
