Just lovely.
And it's true - we...Lovely Amy. Just lovely. <br />And it's true - we need to adapt. I hear about the boredom thing all the time, and what is happening is we're opening up that space, and trying to figure out what to "do". Sometimes it's about just "being" and not doing. But I get where your friend is at. It took me two years to figure out stuff. Running, writing, etc. My blog got started on that very premise. I needed to share and to do something! But as you say, we learn to adapt, and that is how we get stronger. The body adapts to the stresses of yoga, running, exercising. It slowly repairs and rebuilds while we rest. And so while we adapt, we also need that down time. To reflect, to take pause, to grow within as well.<br /><br />Thank you for this - loved it.<br /><br />Blessing and Cheerrrrrrss<br />PaulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8136268241054850544.post-73086018420117253032015-06-06T05:55:08.002-04:002015-06-06T05:55:08.002-04:00Hi- thanks for commenting :) I am happy to be a pe...Hi- thanks for commenting :) I am happy to be a pen pal if you'd like one- dearsoberbia@gmail.com<br /><br />It's always good to listen to the grace and not the excuses.

I feel li...Amy, I just found your blog last night. I feel like I am right on the verge of being where you were on December 7, 2012. Myself has been screaming out for months, even a few years, that I am at the tipping point of really letting drinking get the best of me. I too am a mom of two beautiful kids, and I somehow let a glass of wine turn into 3 or the entire bottle in an effort to calm nerves, forget stress, deal with life, and so on. I don't know if I am there yet - giving it up completely. For me, I have Social Drinker Me, having a drink or two at dinner with friends, and usually staying in full control. However, every 6 months or so, the Party Me comes out and I have too much. Then there is the Mom Loves Wine Me. Having a glass of wine while cooking dinner, then one more because it is stressful at bedtime, and then before I know it I am 3 glasses in. Every time I wake up the next day and swear that I will never drink again unless I am going out to dinner, or any myriad of other excuses. Bless you for being here. And it is by grace that I found you. I am truly grateful. As I take the next steps, I am sure I will be back time and again to read and listen to your wise advice. Thank you. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8136268241054850544.post-22203781611523987492015-06-04T07:27:34.758-04:002015-06-04T07:27:34.758-04:00I think you could start smaller than sugar.

Yours was flossing your teeth. ;o) My first step would be to not eat sugar today. I love how you explained what you had to do to not drink in your early days. Go to bed right after dinner, get up early, do yoga, run, connect with your tree....because we all have those kinds of things we need to do to but we get overwhelmed looking at the whole and we stay stuck. You just let us all know we aren't alone. Thank you for that. I needed to hear that.
