Today, I have felt unfocused and frustrated. Frustrated that my mind feels foggy and so does my brain. Part of my MS journey is realizing that after a fun night of music, hockey and drinking. I need to then give myself the downtime… or the Grace. It’s hard when I still have things I need to do.
I did accomplish things today. Contacting doctors, organizing my MS Walk outfit and Ashlynn’s and Scott’s. Plus, then organizing and sending out info to my team. For a non-MS brain, that probably is an hour, maybe 2 of tasking. Me… all day! Like 6 hours. Oy.
I did, however, just finish my pilates. I did the same video as yesterday. I’m proud of myself. In all the mismatching my brain is today, I still took the time to stretch and use my body. There are muscles there that are sore and tender from non-use… it’s a good feeling, waking them up.
Tonight, we have trivia with good friends. I’m excited, even if my brain and body are rebelling.
My eyes are definitely telling the story of being tired and maybe pushing past my limits. Finding balance is hard, ya’all. Especially when the simple things take hours for my brain to handle.
So, for now, I’ll focus on things I can and find the joy and beauty around me. Peace and love my friends 🧡 and enjoy your ☕️cups.
