Hi anerol
It depends how you see it. I am tired and sore. And of course that causes anxiety. But it doesn't go to panic. It tries but it doesn't happen. We are cramming in a lot of landscaping on top of the gardening and we are happy so it is all worth it. What can I say. New relationships can be tough but only as tough as we let them be.
I am so glad you are progressing. Time, patience and acceptance will get you where we are, remember we have been working at it a long time.
Davit.
Hi: Yes, new experiences, though fun and exciting, can be stressful too. Remember the example of the surprise birthday party where the stress of the surprise (heart beating faster, breathlessness and maybe flushing) though a happy time does cause stress - all part of life. Because I am creative, I have lots of ideas re: above landscaping etc. but easy does it, one day at a time and quit when you feel tired. This might take lots of planning and forethought but all very positive. I always feel the journey is just as much fun as the goal. Planning things is so exciting. I can put all my past experience with my perennial gardens to use.
I am happy to hear of your walking 3 houses today! Good for you, way to go. Just add an extra house every now and then and don't forget to celebrate your joy of the beautiful day and your progess. When I was really sick I hated to walk, so afraid I wouldn't get back home again. I started small, just down to the corner, one street at a time and I did it on a regular basis even if I didn't feel like it. If I didn't walk as far one day as the day before, that was o.k. I was happy that I got out and got some fresh air. Before long I was back to my regular walks to the beach and back - about an hour. Keep the faith and BELIEVE. You're on the right track. (no pun intended, lol).
