Sitting here feeling proud of me, I was a wonderful friend to myself today. I took myself swimming, wonderful how water rejuvenates me. Movement, swimming has been helping me to continue to work on my physical well being, which helps my overall mental health.

Knowing that exercise helps you mentally, but to understand it, absorb it. Feel myself shift, to understanding, then feeling acceptance wash over me. Remembering myself, taking care of me. Being able to count on me to follow through, action.

My sleep is so much better since I started swimming. I’m going to keep swimming until the pool closes at the end of October. Hoping my foot will feel better by then, so I can start walking again, I miss my walks.

Worked on my costume, starting to understand how learning a new skill can be exhausting, everything is new when it comes to hand sewing. I’m getting through using my problem solving skills. Some days I get to meditate as I sew, not today. Everything I’m doing needs my concentration, so a few hours is wonderfully exhausting.

Sewing makes me so happy
