todays choice

It's Tuesday- my new normal is evolving... As well as everyone else's....
I feel frightened, worried... plain 'ole scared.  And weirdly excited about a change in my life.
I will do my best to tap into to the excitement, with a steady dose of worry.... You know, my old friend worry.
I am making an ACTIVE choice- To make this "life intermission" a time to change and work on myself.
My body, mind, attitude and my family.
Today, I will begin work in the basement of the house, while trying to think of the future needs of this area.  Strange. Yes.  BUT, it allows my brain to be in control of an outcome, my mind to think on an issue and make a plan for the future.  All things I need in my life.
Today, I will go for a walk with my lovely and amazing son.  We will quickly walk around the neighborhood, allowing our bodies to move and breathe deeply.
Today, I will support my husband, who has his own worries, fears and concerns.
Today, I will not think about how long this "life shutdown" will continue, not think on my job, my pay, my bills, my medical insurance- or allow my mind to crawl back to that place where worries about the electric bill caused my throat to tighten and my breath to catch.
Today, I will make my own choices.  What is best for me and mine.
One day at a time.  THAT is what I will do.
