Yeah, thankfully it doesn't get too cold where I am at too. I've bundled up and braved it, but sometimes when its cold, wet and gloomy, it gets harder to be motivated! But I am trying to go for at least an hour walk each day.

Thanks, I see that doing that is important.

I definitely feel like a work in progress, but I know I am strong and will grow from this experience regardless. I do feel like I lost myself over the last few years, so even though I am sad, confused, and all from the turn my life has taken it has reminded me to focus on the things that are important to me again, and return a bit to putting myself first again. At least that is a goal! cool
