Emotional

It's been an emotional few days. I don't know why there are days like that for no real reason. I've been feeling heartbroken, even though I've accepted the reality. I think maybe it's letting go of the dream of what I wanted for the relationship. There's been a bit of emotional eating, so I imagine the scale will reflect that, but I'm still impressed that I'm problem solving and using good strategies once I realize what's going on.

Speaking of good strategies, I love, love, love my bike. I had forgotten how much I love to ride. It's a bit more work for my legs, because I sit so upright, but so awesome! I've been out on it every day. Did I mention that lifetime services are included in the price? Well worth it!

Both Jason's and Tim's families are away this week, so it's a good thing that Kelly and Danny are back home. They joined Paula and me at the pool this morning, which is one of my favourite Sunday morning activities. Nana Cobb returns to Winnipeg in the morning too, so it was nice to share part of the day with her. She's such a wonderful addition to our family and now that Auntie Danna and Uncle Chris have moved to Australia, she's far away from all her kids and grandkids. It's a good reminder for me to count my blessings!

Thanks for an organized shed. Thanks for brothers and sisters who are my best friends and staunchest supporters. Thanks for slightly cooler weather. Thanks for living close to the people who love me most.

Love and gratitude, elly
