My Short Overstory
Having been sick on and off for two months seems to have taken a wind out of me. I noticed I was winded when I went out for a walk on the trail in the nearby green belt, which usually feels like a leisurely stroll. Despite my tendency to keep doing, it has also been difficult for me to feel motivated to get back to work at full throttle. In all honesty, I found myself spiraling down to some sort of depression. Rather than trying to deny or suppress these feelings, I stayed with it to observe my thoughts. I reflected on what my soul truly longed for, and it wasn’t until about a week ago that I realized all I needed was a few days of solitude at home. I’m grateful that my husband understood my need for space and provided me with the opportunity to retreat and rejuvenate.
