I am just making a huge effort to get out. Maybe not always connected, but to go to a coffee shop once in a while and knit by myself or actually sign up for a mom event and attend like through local churches (although I am not religious)..I'm terrible about this, but truly I find those few minutes to just myself help immensely.<br />And BRAVO to you on losing all that weight. I need to drop a few, but honestly know it's not going to happen during the holidays so I'll stay comfy and chubby in hibernation mode!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210820513382353417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101028800995433163.post-78764736420418186692010-12-07T02:33:28.780-08:002010-12-07T02:33:28.780-08:00First off WOW on the 15 lbs. you machine! Secondl...First off WOW on the 15 lbs. you machine! Secondly, I can feel the "rundown-ness" through this post and I think b/c I have been there...and still go there sometimes. My children are older so I don't have the same situation any longer. I have always been very dedicated to working out - which helps keep me feeling energized...AND...I used to take a bath nightly when I put the kids down. I would take a hot bath and read...just for 30 minutes, but it was a God send.<br /><br />I did feel isolated from some of my girlfriends after Joe's diagnosis...due to grief and exhaustion and frustration of people not getting it...that has slowly lifted and I keep in touch with many friends and have coffee with them etc...<br /><br />I heart you Cindy!!!
