I was just looking over my posts and I was surprised to see that I've been writing here for almost 3 years. Where did the time go? I feel like I'm starting to get my stuff together. You'd think that 3 years was more than enough time to get fit, organized, and healthy, but it's been a journey for me. Baby steps here and there, and some steps backwards a few times too. The important thing is that I am moving forward bit by bit.
I think I've come a long way in 3 years. I've reclaimed my basement from the stuff that was piled there, gotten rid of a lot of stuff by donating it or just throwing it out (or recycling when appropriate). I've been following a mostly vegan diet for a little over 2 years and I've been antidepressant free for about 8 months now. Without the medications, I actually don't feel as depressed as I used to. Funny how that works, isn't it?
I still have a long way to go, but I'll get there! Overall, I feel a lot better than I did 3 years ago. I think I'm more fun to be around too. People don't tend to enjoy spending a lot of time with people who are negative, and I know I was very negative before. I'm working on reducing stress and being more positive. It's a process, but I find that it's helping.
I find this quote to be true:
Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing. ~Phyllis Diller, Phyllis Diller's Housekeeping Hints, 1966
I would add that the same applies to husbands, especially if they are nerds and tend to accumulate a lot of computer stuff.
So, that's me for now. Moving forward, step by step. And now it seems appropriate to add this video:
