In the spirit of WTH?!

So this is the weirdest thing that's happened to me in a very long time and it happened not once but TWICE in five days but never in the preceding 56 years.  I had two people, entirely unrelated, who I've never met before and will probably never see again, both asked me if I was from England as - wait for it - I have an English accent!  WTH?!  

More verbiage

Some days since my car accident, which resulted in mild brain injury, I have days that just seem to disappear.  It's weird.  I can feel like ten minutes has passed only to discover than it's been two or three hours.  

Squirrel!

Apparently I'm in one of those moods where every thought that comes in to my head feels the need to be vomited out in a written medium.  Of course now that I've opened up the page to type I can't remember whatever it was that I felt I needed to write down so urgently.  Ha ha ha...joke's on me!  Again!

Learning to quit - the right way!

So I'm reading a book called Mastering the Art of Quitting written by Peg Streep and Alan Bernstein.  If you have a chance pick it up and read it.  If you can't find a copy your local library and request they get it.  Within the first chapter I'd read information that changed my entire view of quitting.  Seriously - get it, read it!!!

This is the place that I'm going to write all my odd thoughts.  I just got back the other night from having 5 days away.  I knew that I had to get away and so I did.  It was a really visceral feeling.  Having said that I didn't really realise exactly how badly I needed that time away until I'd taken it.  I didn't realise how depleted I was - physically, emotionally and spiritually - until I'd begin to refill.  I am definitely not 'all better' or all refilled in any capacity but I am now aware of my state.

So now the question is how do I practice the self-care that I'm constantly reading about and espousing to absolutely everyone else.

Now I begin the new journey.

I accept myself and love myself as I am.

...and that's all folks!  Well for today anyway.... or perhaps just for this hour.
