Last weekend some of my family and I went bowling as a way of spending Mother’s Day together.
It’s something that I always enjoyed doing as a child and then started enjoying less as a teenager, because I became more are more self-conscious about having to play by pushing the ball down a ramp. I often felt like I wasn’t properly taking part, or like as I was cheating by not actually throwing the ball.
I know that I don’t usually update my blog on a Tuesday, but I feel like I should after yesterday’s post.
It’s no secret that I wasn’t having a good day mood wise, and today has been so much better and I feel like a brand new person.
Days like the one I had yesterday can be tough, and it’s easy to feel like they low moods will never end, but they do. Not always quickly, but things do get better, and it’s important to remember that.
When I sat down to start writing today’s post, I thought that I was going write something about carrying things, especially heavy things, but as soon as I pressed the ‘New Post’ button, it didn’t feel right.
Although this blog is primarily one about me living with my disability cerebral palsy, I have also recently opened up about my mental health, and my journey through life with OCD, anxiety and low mood/depression.
I never know just how much of that to share here, not because I am ashamed of it, but because I don’t know if the people who read these posts would find it helpful or interesting.
I am now the proud owner of a disabled parking blue badge for the first time in years.
I had one while I was a child and then stopped getting on renewed when I went away to university.
Today has been an odd one, well so far anyway. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I am most definitely not a morning person. I used to be, in fact, I think I was a pretty much any kind of day person. I hardly slept.
This morning was a totally different story. I woke up feeling unrested and with a cold that’s only in the early stages of its onset. I hope it stays that way. When I went downstairs only to be informed by my sister that it was snowing, my mood didn’t improve.
I’d originally planned a trip out with a friend today, funnily enough to pick up my new blue badge that will allow me to use disabled parking spaces, but after much deliberation and watching the snow stop and start all morning, we decided not to risk it.
