57 of 100 .... Tuesday Meltdown



As far as 'meltdowns' go, this day was far from the worst.  I just felt overwhelmed and exhausted, so much to do and I don't know where to begin.  Just the feeling.  I know the way through it is one step at a time, I just felt today like I was in the middle of the tornado. Work - everything was a rush, home - chaos and a mess, stomach - churning but no relief, challenge - no progress. 


Moments of Gratitude in the Meltdown
1.  Today, Tuesday, I was grateful to let the phone ring as I left the building at the end of my day. He had been coming to me non-stop, every package with a "rush" sticker on and how other's poor planning became my emergency was getting frustrating.  (I need to remember this to tap into and use it to get my resume updated!!)
2.  Today,  Tuesday, I was grateful to finally get stomach relief from apple cider vinegar and water. I love going to bed but then I can't sleep because my stomach is a mess.  Relief comes from getting sick, but if I don't get sick, nothing stops.  I'll have to try the apple cider earlier tomorrow!
3.  Today,  Tuesday, I was grateful for knowing, even when I was feeling the chaos, I knew that all I had to do was pick one thing to focus on and do, and the chaos would be broken.  
4.  Today, Tuesday, I was very grateful for Bonnie to be back at work - the woman that was absent on Monday.
5.  Today, Tuesday, I was grateful to head to bed at 10:00 ... even though that's not the time I fell asleep. At least I was in bed at that time!
6.  Today, Tuesday, I was grateful for a phone call from my friend RA.  It was nice to stop and do nothing while we chatted for a bit, to forget the tornado that surrounded me!
