29-

Self-care: Walking, as usual... People often tell me to walk around the building a couple times to work off steam, but I already walk around a mile each day just getting there and back?

Self-love: Talking to my friend. We spoke for a long time on debating, and I'm afraid I might have suffocated her a little. Still, she's a wonderful person and she made me feel better.

30-

Self-care: None... I feel we've established my walking habits >///<

Self-love: Sleep. Sleep is wonderful. I forgot how beautiful sleep could be.

31-

Self-care: None, again.

Self-love: Talking to my dad and drawing out my feelings. Also, reblogging happy things on tumblr.

I'm amazed we've come this far. I'm so proud of us all!

Today, May 31,

As self-love, I slept two extra hours.

It's been a long month in a lot of ways, and I wasn't able to post everyday as I had planned to, but I really think that my extra enthusiasm toward physical therapy (exercise), trying to increase my ability & stamina helped me cope with the stress better. Looking forward to devoting time to take care of myself was also a huge help & I hope to continue far past May. I haven't posted every day but I have kept track. So, here it goes... 5/12 self care: walked through the big park with my friend. self love: I found a great vase that I got ready in anticipation of my walk tomorrow & prepared my clippers for the same.... 5/13: self care: walked around two blocks of the neighborhood Self love: went to work with the clippers and cut some wild growing flowers from an empty lot (wish I could plant a garden there) & filled my ready vase. 5/14: self love: realized how bad my nails were getting & repeated manicure. 5/15: self love: followed up with new pedicure but ran out of gas before I could paint them 5/16: self care: worked on core strength with physical therapist Self love: I painted my toenails & added a layer of glitter. I regretted that later when I had to remove the polish, lol. 5/17: self care: walked to neighborhood grocery for fresh vegetables for dinner. Self love: took an extra long, extra luxurient shower with my "special occasion" smelly bath stuff ☺ 5/18: self love: portioned my dinner so that I'd have room for a small dessert (I don't eat much usually, so everything is small) 5/19: self care: upper body therapy bands Self love: gave myself an hour in front of the tv when I didn't have to think about anything. (This is unusual for me) 5/20 self care: practiced getting up from falls with my therapist and again at home with a helper. This will be a recurring self care exercise, very important & also very taxing. Self love: accepted a massage from a friend for my aching limbs ☺ 5/21: self love: used my perfume not because I was going out or expecting someone, but just because I like it (cost prohibitive things don't get used everyday 5/22: self love: went out with a friend to socialize. 5/23: self love: realizing how dry the air was in my house, I spent some extra time with body lotion & even had my back done for me, yay! Self care: walked briefly and also did upper body therapy bands. 5/24: self love: nicely asked a neighbor that had a great garden if I could cut a few flowers (this took some courage for me) & was met with a warm response. New flowers for my vase. 5/25 self care: walked up to the big park with my bf & took some pretty steep paths (for me) Self love: used oil & massaged sore legs while listening to some calming music 5/26: self love: I baked a cake from scratch, just because I wanted to. (Now who's going to eat it all after I have a piece or two?) 5/27: self care: worked on getting up from falls again. Employed ice pack later. Self love: massaged a special treatment through my scalp & hair 5/28: self care: beautiful day, walked to two different "pocket parks" in my neighborhood. Self love: I ate a S'more for the first time in *years*! 5/29: self care: worked on core strength because my hands swelled from my crutches (yuck). Self love: I had some new colored mini led lights hung in my house (adds a lot of cheer to gloomy days) 5/30: self care: walk to the neighborhood store & flower garden admiring. Self love: took the night to spend with a friend from out of town & splurged on a night out for the first time since December 5/31: self love: after seeing my skin in full scale revolt tonight, I decided on a facial night! Self care: walked through the park & around part of the golf course. Congratulations to everyone who participated this month, I hope you found it as rewarding as I did! Thanks, SacredBlossom!

self love: didn't get around to ^ because i spent most of the day speaking with yet another old friend. feels like a lot of those are coming back into my life, or maybe i'm just opening back up again. not sure but it's kinda nice. played video games with them for a couple hours.
