Very well written. It makes me want to cry.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been feeling &#8220;off&#8221; the last couple days. Yesterday, I couldn&#8217;t remember my routine for going to prayer meeting &#8211; something I go to every Wednesday. What time do I normally leave the house? Where do I usually park? Where did I put my gloves? Where are my keys? I pride myself on remembering people, names and details. Right now I feel like my brain is mush. I remember things but it&#8217;s like a fog. It&#8217;s not that I don&#8217;t remember anything, it&#8217;s a strange feeling I don&#8217;t know how to describe. Then I worried that I have a stroke or a blood clot or something&#8230;which then the worrying makes me anxious&#8230;and the anxiety makes me unable to think&#8230;and I worry that I can&#8217;t think&#8230;it&#8217;s a vicious cycle. Thank God for sleep. Now I know why God created our need and ability to sleep. His mercies are new every morning. Each day is a new day. I don&#8217;t have to continue to worry. I can sleep and rest, and refocus my trust in the God of the universe.<\/p>\n<p>On the positive note, I bought some floral wire on Amazon, it&#8217;ll be delivered tomorrow. I&#8217;m excited to make a wreath. Watched some how-to videos on YouTube. I need something creative to do. I think I&#8217;ll go to Michael&#8217;s for fun. Have not been there for a while, afraid that I would spend money on a project that I won&#8217;t finish. I&#8217;ve been too serious lately, too much thinking&#8230;I wonder if I would be relaxed if I was retired. But I love my job and I would volunteer anyway. But a volunteer can always punt it to the children&#8217;s director&#8230;which is me right now&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>A big part of my digestion problem is anxiety. I noticed that my acid reflux has been ok until yesterday when I got worried about my brain. So silly. Need to spend time with God instead of online shopping on Amazon and Nordstrom Rack! And I don&#8217;t even like shopping, but that&#8217;s not really shopping, is it?<\/p>\n<p>Heavy rain today. So don&#8217;t tell me to take short showers because of drought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve not heard of this term of being &#8220;woke&#8221; or &#8220;wokeness&#8221; until I read this.
