Back from the Beach

Vacation gave me time to think and just allow myself the space to relax and decompress. I was able to start my 5 habits and reteach myself gratitude. It was exactly what I needed in order to come back and start writing again.

What I learned most from vacation was how much dinner time with loved ones is extremely important to me. I got to spend nights with Nick and his family for dinner. This brought so much joy to my day, a warmth that just made me feel so much gratitude. I have missed being a part of family get togethers and dinners. I’ve missed cooking together and just hanging out and spending that quality time. It’s been a huge part of my depression.  So being able to be in a family was magic for me.

Family means everything to me. It’s one of the most important things in my life. Over the years my family has become smaller and smaller, divided and just to much drama for me. So cutting that out of my life was a very difficult decision. Since then, the grieving I have done for it has been real and constant. For the past 2 years I’ve gone through it and having a week of family dinners, spending time at the beach it gave me so much joy and realization that I have that again. 

The beach house gave me gratitude, family and freedom everything I have been hoping for. I’m so grateful for my vacation. It recharged me and made me realize the things I need to change for my own happiness. So here’s to making the changes and bright new shiny future. 

You had a whole week without my blogs has anything changed for you? Have you had any insight into yourself? If so have you started to implement anything that will help you change it? Did you start the 5 for 75 challenge? What has gone on for the past week? See you tomorrow.

Today was a 6 1/2. Need to reset my diet.
