Jump up July Day 2 and Day 3 I'm combining these two as they fall appositely for me. Day 2 turn I can't into I can't yet and Day 3 Ask for help when you need it. And everyday is a school day. It's been a thunderous busy weekend with the husband's birthday and guests to entertain and/or be entertained by. Then work to engage with this morning. It all sounds so very normal, blessed even, yet after my period of illness and semi-absence from the world I have found it all to be exhausting and I was feeling quite low about it until, considering Jump-up July's 2nd resilience challenge I reminded myself that although I can't do it YET, it's very early days in my recovery and energies for engagement with others, like building capacity for running, takes time. With that in mind I've slept most of this afternoon before we visit with our guests again this evening. I've also asked my line-manager about making full use of flexible working and my phased return to chunk my day around meaningful sized rest breaks. One day at a time folks. Unrelated photos of my dream fence and yesterday's sunset which was a surprise after a cloud filled day.
