Unfortunately, my 'flu-type' illness morphed into a 'chesty and not able to really breathe very easily' kind of illness and I have been laying low at home for a few days recovering. Today I ventured out to post a letter to a friend and returned home in fine fettle, no breathlessness to spoil my home-coming. The other aim of the walk, as well as to test fitness levels, was to try and subdue the out of this world pinkness of my new running shoes. Alas, it did not work, but I'm sure after a few mornings of pootling up and down our muddy, forest trails that problem will sort itself out :)
As you know, I do most sincerely believe that being creative has restorative powers, and my little project today was doubly so - good for the mind and the body; I made a lovely soft bra as the underwired ones I usually wear have been most uncomfortable as I've been fighting my 'like a chest infection, but not really one' complete with aching chest. Soft bras are so much more comfortable and allow you to be a bit freer without unleashing mayhem into the world, if you see what I mean. An extra added bonus was the sun streaming through the window, illuminating my sewing spot with it's warming rays which did much to warm and lift the spirits. I will share more maker details about this in the near future.
I do remember my mum saying that the flu can make you feel rather down; with this in mind I spent a small part of my day making notes on what I can do to lift my mood and keep me well - of late I have felt my mental health, although not slipping exactly, has felt like it's following a slightly descending path and I need to pay attention to it. I think I have unwittingly found myself a project, which if it goes as I'm hoping, I will share here. Perhaps at the end of my extremely long 100 days of blogging ... but maybe sooner. It's just at the seed stage at the moment.
What a lovely random post, much like my day really.
