annyshay Posted November 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 And then... life got even more crazy than usual. The fear, ignorance, and hate that the election have shown made me very scared for myself, my friends, and my patients. Our clinical service at work exploded with very complicated, sick children whose parents required all of my emotional support. And I had 5 different attendings in 8 days, which meant that I was basically the only one holding our team, our patients, and our plans together. I worked hours akin to internship... and did a similar amount of work. Blargh. Today, I'm starting to re-emerge from all that emotional morass. Today, I'm really proud of myself for continuing my awesome established habits and for wanting to reengage with the hard work of making better nutritional habits. Today is just another day when I am SO GLAD that you all have my backs. For the rebellion! 6 Quote Love as thou wilt. Link to comment

Elastigirl Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Good for you for keeping up with your awesome habits. As far as the election goes, remember that God is in control-nothing surprises Him 3 Quote Wisdom 22.5 Dexterity 13 Charisma 15 Strength 21 Constitution-13 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind' Luke 10; 27 Link to comment
Lightning Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Those families were so lucky to have you around. Double Bonus Points for staying with your positive habits despite the negativity around you. My new mantra (actually my first mantra really) is "Be the Change you want to See". It resonates with me on so many levels. There is the change I hope to see in the world but also the changes in myself. If I want to see myself as a healthy person I have to BE that healthy person. Probably seems obvious but it sort of hit me upside the head. 3 Quote Level 23 Assassin Current Challenge "Nothing is true; everything is permitted" Link to comment

Elastigirl Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 I've been doing a bit of the quadraped rocking. It seems like good practice for learning to put more weight on your hands. 1 Quote Wisdom 22.5 Dexterity 13 Charisma 15 Strength 21 Constitution-13 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind' Luke 10; 27 Link to comment

Had to look up quadruped rocking, then realised I did some of it while painting the inside of the beardie cage I'll admit though that I used a little cushion under my knees, as the bird mesh isn't the nicest thing to kneel on. 2 Quote Mrs. Van's Latest Challenge Zechariah 4:6 "Not by might, nor by power, but by My spirit, saith the Lord."
