Time has begun to slip through my fingers even more so than usual. I have been aiming to write something every day but there have a few occasions recently where I kept putting it off for a later part of the day and then the next thing I know I'm choosing to start my bedtime routine instead of writing. There doesn't seem to be much to write about some days but I recognize that it is good for my mental health to take the time to check in with myself via the meditative writing practice that I typically try to do on a daily basis. It is easy for me to suppress feelings (or at least, not deal with them fully) until they overwhelm me the way they did Monday night. When you are already used to chronic emotional pain, it can be hard to notice or acknowledge some of the small things that are sapping your peace until you come across the straw that breaks the camel's back.
Currently I'm pet sitting for three super sweet animals, two cats and a dog. My first day here has been a blast as usual. I got to play with the dog and walk her a couple of times and then this evening, I had one of the cats napping on my lap. They're really happy pets and the perfect therapy for me as well. I was able to stay in the moment more often today than usual thanks to their company.
