I had a busy morning. Family zoom call at 9am, then a jaunt to downtown LA for the art Exhibit. I came back home ate lunch and then went out for a walk. I got some good rest and drank a cup of black tea for inspiration and set out to walk around the neighborhood. When I got home I was feeling pummeled by exhaustion, but it was manifesting as more significant issues in my life. I asked myself 'if it just was the tiredness talking?' And 'other folks get this way right?' It just helped me from going down a rabbit hole. The pain is still there though...so I'll try and rest before doing anything else and when my outlook lifts. Which by writing this, indeed it is.

it was a nice day for a hike!

I'm glad you were able to pull yourself out of the rabbit hole <3 That's awesome.
And what a beautiful photo, that looks like a place I could imagine when I'm feeling down. I would love to wander along that path looking at the sky.

Looks like a beautiful walk on a clear path. Don’t let the darkness take hold. Remember to walk gently…..rest and sit down when needed. Those clouds look like happy clouds, full of great comfort and kindness.

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
