O Beautiful Sunday.
Sunday Reflections…
Always remember the love ones that are in spirit cause they are still here. 💕❤️
My Meaningful Sundays…
Sunday, for me, is a time to relax, reset, and reflect on everything that happened during the week. It’s my moment to check in with my mind, body, and soul—especially in a world that can feel so chaotic and unreal at times.
One thing I reflected on this week was getting sick with the flu. I haven’t had the flu in years, but this time it got me. It made me think of my Bear—my Nut Job—who always said, “We can’t get sick, and we’re not getting that flu shot.” He really was my other half. We thought alike about so many things, though there were a few topics we didn’t quite see eye to eye on—but that’s life, right?
I’ve been missing him a lot lately. No matter how much time passes, I feel his absence in the physical world. But I know his soul is out there, watching over me every morning when I wake up and every night when I go to bed. He’s always in my dreams, and we go on these incredible adventures together. I truly believe we’ll be reunited in the next lifetime, and I look forward to that day.
Health & Wellness Check-In
This week also reminded me that I need to take better care of myself—my mind, my body, and my soul. The mind, especially, is so delicate and needs time to rest and heal from the things that trigger it. Mine tends to race a mile a minute, so I’m planning to make more time for silence and stillness.
Physically, I know I need to detox and get rid of the toxins slowing me down. Exercise is on the agenda, too—nothing crazy, just starting slow with some walking. I’m thinking of getting a foldable treadmill so Max can join me and burn off some of his energy as well. I might also give yoga and Pilates a try to help lengthen and strengthen my body. Small steps, but important ones.
A Lifelong Mystery Solved
After all these years, I finally figured out the mystery behind my skin condition. As a kid, doctors told my parents I needed to bathe with Dove soap and use Vaseline because regular lotions didn’t work for me. Now I know why: I have a rare skin condition called Congenital Ichthyosis. It causes dry, scaly skin due to abnormal keratinization. My case isn’t severe, but every morning, it feels like it’s snowing under my clothes from the flakes that shed overnight.
Learning about this condition after all these years has been eye-opening. Moving forward, I’ll be adding a humidifier to my routine, using specialized creams, and incorporating baths along with my showers to better care for my skin. It’s a lot to take in, but I’m hopeful that these changes will make a big difference.
Gratitude & Perspective
This week has been a rollercoaster of emotions and realizations, but I’m learning to embrace the changes. Through it all, I know my Bear is with me, guiding me from wherever he is.
Until the next Sunday recap—stay peaceful, mindful, and free. Love the earth, because it truly loves you back.
