Weak Days

Days like today I call my weak days!  These are days were I hurt all over and can not find a way to be comfortable.  

I am weak...

• in the knees
• in my feet while they tingle
• in my hands that are swollen
• in my head that is burning
• in my legs that have a hard time moving
• in my brain that is pushed to focus
• in my heart that just wants to be still and not move

It is very hard to get through and past the weak days.  I keep trying new things and pushing myself to just accept and move on.  However, there is a part of me that thinks maybe I am trying too hard and hurting myself more.  I feel like I need to be there always for my daughter, my husband and my work and so often the quality of being there is not very good!  How do I find a way to give myself the rest I need and still be there for everyone who needs me? 

I do not know maybe one day I will find it!

The Last Water Bottle

You all know that I can be over the top from most people about this kind of thing but maybe I am a just the voice of the minority for now.  I have put off watching Tapped for quite a while.  I think it was because I knew it would tell me that bottled water is crazy and unneccessary.  And like others I get them sometimes because it is easy!  However, above is a picture of my last bottled water.  After watching this film I have learned that municipal (tap) water is more regulated and tested than any bottled water and that most bottled water comes out of the tap anyway.  One person at the FDA back in 2007 was regulating bottled water and she had other things to do too just like the rest of us.  So, I will be replacing the filter in my lovely bottle you saw recently and maybe just drinking from the tap based on what you will see in the attached documentary. Be aware that you may also want to watch your bottles and remember that we now have places in the ocean that are called plastic garbage areas. Overall, ugh!  Bye Bye bottled water!
