I have been under the gun at the office with a series of bottlenecking deadlines (I am sitting in the office once again on a Saturday morning staring at an overflowing desk) and the weather here has been disgusting for weeks, so I am not sure if this is just a tide of frustration I'd be feeling no matter what, or if it's amplified by the knowledge that there's no way to stick my head in the sand for a few hours anymore. I spent the first month actually feeling pretty cheery so I suppose it's just been a disappointment to learn that you can't ride that upbeat emotional wave for a bit longer.
Oh my gosh, I could have said the same thing at my spot right now! Minus the work since I stay home with the kids which is another sort of job, I too felt the first month was great and now it’s hard to find the greatness in what is good. How do you practice gratitude when you can’t find it?? I hope we are both in a funk! I’ve heard it takes a few months to get your head on straight!
Good job on the 41 days!!
