I don't want to exercise!!!

I went online and looked up symptoms of perimenopause. I think I'm the poster child.
I'm still working on trying to figure out what works for me and how to do better.
I think it's time to look at vitamins. I take a multivitamin along with my antidepressant, but I think I might need to get a little more creative than that.

It's funny how much time we spend, when we're young, on educating ourselves for work, family, etc, and very little time on how our body works and what it needs. Then we hit our 30's and 40's and we start looking for that miracle pill to fix all our health issues. We try all kinds of things to feel better and have less stress, once our body starts to show signs of wear and tear.
You go to the doctor and he says, "exercise". :(
I know that's a great idea...but I don't like to exercise. I am on my feet all day
working on the house and whatever. The last thing I want to do is go run the neighborhood. Yes...I know it will make me feel better. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a vitamin that you take that gives you all the benefits of exercise without the exercise? I'd buy stock in that.
Does watering the garden count for exercise? Or doing the laundry, dishes, paying bills, cleaning floors, picking up kids, scooping litter boxes and taking out trash?
If you gave me a trail to walk that had a free meal at Huisache at the end of it....I'd be there. If I could earn funds toward my insurance premium each month, I'd probably go for that. Lets see, I pay almost 700 a month. If they pay me $5.00 per mile....I'd go for that. I'd be healthier which would save them money...right?
There is a chihuahua on River road that walks to the gas station every day for a treat from the employees there. Now that's incentive to walk.....for a dog.
If I'm gonna get all sweaty and stinky, it should be for something I've accomplished, like planting a garden or building a pond.
Oh well, time to pick up kids. Then back to doing laundry.
Hope everyone has a nice day.

DIVORCE AND MENTAL HEALTH

 It is a beautiful hot day outside.  Texas weather in the summers are not for the faint of heart, that's for sure.  But it is truly beautiful.  We've had a good amount of rain through June so the grass is still green, which doesn't usually happen by July.   I don't blog often.  I unintentionally hurt someones feelings with a blog post and I don't want to do that again so I am very nervous blogging about anything.  I created this blog page to try and heal myself and maybe help anyone else who might be going through the same circumstances.  I have depression that has been my constant companion for a good part of my life.   So most of my blog posts are my way of working through my depression.  I have a hard time feeling safe in many situations.  A good amount of that was because of how our home felt when I was young.  I had precious parents that weren't good at communication.  I don't think they knew how to be any o...

Several years ago I read something that really made sense to me. I can't remember where I read it or what exactly it said but it talked about how saying the words "I am ......." before some value that you wish you had.  It was explained that, in doing so, it could change your subconscious thinking.   We all have so many thoughts running through our heads at any given moment and I would guess that not all those thoughts are positive.  If you are a woman, then you probably have many more thoughts running at one time than any man would.  Most of us have high expectations for ourselves, so every imaginable self criticism comes to mind and runs on a continuous loop in our heads. When we read the bible it has so many areas that talk about taking captive your thoughts, thinking of only good things, speaking words that only lift us up, and BELIEVING what you pray for, so it will be done.  So the trick for most of us is to shut down those negative subconscious thoughts t...

Todays thoughts

I've been listening and reading about a new fad in Christianity that has become very heart breaking for me personally . It seems there is a growing number of people who don't like what they call the "institution" of the church. You know what? Church is not perfect and never was. That's why there are so many letters in the bible to churches telling them what they need to change. It's not going to be perfect but that doesn't mean we walk away. What concerns me about great Christian people who give up on the church experience, is that, in giving up and only gathering with a small group of Christians, they are losing the experience of fellowship with people that have no other place to go. Christians who need loving people around them on that Sunday morning, to help get them through the week. What I LOVE about church is that I am accepted even though I'm not perfect, wealthy, popular or whatever. I LOVE that when my children come to church, they are...
