I've been on Facebook less than 10 minutes today and I've gotten 6 million weather forecasts! Some people have posted about this daily or 2-3 times in a day.
Thank you, Newsfeed. I was unaware.
No, actually. I noticed. I noticed as I looked at the weather apps on my phone, as the radio and morning news on my TV told me about schools 2 hour delays; as I put on my winter coat and opened my garage door and saw accumulation on the roads; as I drove down the dangerous snow and icy roads; and when I pumped gas today and my ears became numb. Especially when my furnace broke down during the ice storm this week.
I'm grumpy, yes. Spring flowers are some of my favorite, happiest things and not to mention my lack of bike rides and spring break travel.
I am however, trying to combat this. 1. Now, I have heat! 2. October of 2017 was well beyond hot and warm, this is Michigan and my expectations are low. 3. I have a schedule of remaining IEPs and reports for the next 6 weeks, this week should technically be my finals week so I can go out and play when Michigan changes it's mind. 4. Facebook Newfeed, doesn't help. I don't want to complain and read about complaints. I want to keep my curtains shut and eat chili for the last time this season.
While taking a deep look into my mood swings and overall happiness weeks and situations like this is a series of "Little Bad Things". I'm not chronically ill, I have money to pay my bills, I have a warm home and so much more!!
I can't sweat the small stuff!! I just may go over my Pepsi limit. But maybe I can make this a productive evening and week? Especially since I've already thrown a pity party for myself about my mishaps.
My focus is on what it takes to have self confidence in today's society as a woman with a physical disability. I hope I can inspire and help individuals by sharing my experiences. I am an Occupational Therapist with a master's in Rehabilitation Counseling. I have worked as a school based OT for the past 15 years and hope to share my expertise with others. I feel that maintaining a balance and holistic approach towards life's challenges is the best way to be productive, happy and successful!
