10 Things That Went Well This Week

This week has been a little tough. I’m working my way through some things (honestly, who isn't?). I have a lot of tough decisions to make and the fact that I have to make them is not sitting well with me. I’m not making a sad post LOL I am actually focusing on the highlights of the week so here goes:  


1. I finished 2 books and officially hit my goal of reading 24 books in 2020!!! The books I finished this week were The Wives and The Vanishing Half. Both books were sooooo good! I'm always down for a book discussion if anyone has read either of them. Also, a book I pre-ordered became available! 


2. I napped in the calm room. I had been having trouble sleeping so I set myself up in the calm room and slept for a little under 5 hours!! I woke up so confused...that's always a sign of a good nap. Between the black out curtains,  the storm outside,  the mental exhaustion, the new rug, the weighted blanket, the tower fan, and the Simpson's playing in the background, I had no choice but to sleep well in there. 


3. I worked out everyday except for one and set new records on my exercise ring. I received new information about my diabetes that gave me an extra boost of motivation. 


4. I had a book club meeting with some of my best friends. Of course, we didn't just focus on the book. It was so nice to catch up and feel connected to more of my people. 


5. I helped my grandma with a computer issue. This may seem minor, but I stepped outside of my comfort zone and answered my grandma's call. I helped her fix her computer and told her I loved her. Sometimes, I can't talk to people and I was so happy to be able to talk to her like I would've before all this. 


6. I honored my boundaries while also trying to open myself up a little more to things that were once normal.  


7. I cooked more than I have in a while. Working out is making me think twice about what I'm eating. 


8. I met with my therapist. She really spoke to my soul this week. I'm so happy that I did this for myself. 


9. I finished Master Chef. This one is bittersweet. I feel very accomplished, but now I don't know what to watch. I learned a lot about cooking techniques and flavor combinations from watching this. I actually cooked with shallots this week LOL

​
10. I rearranged my room. I've always been one to change things around from time to time. I felt like my room wasn't working for me anymore. I am so pleased with how it turned out!


So the week wasn't perfect, but there were definitely some sweet spots! What were the highlights of your week?
