So much to say...

I have so much bottled up inside of me that I want to say today and just don't know how to get it all out.

It's strange being in the position that I am right now. Knowing that life is MUCH better than it was and knowing that I am in a much better place, mentally, physically, and emotionally, but yet still having days that you just feel like you have done nothing but screw everything up and want to hide from the world. That is where I am today. Wanting to hide.

Feeling like I am never a good enough friend, mother, daughter, teammate, trainee, employee... you get the picture. Just that all over I am never going to measure up feeling. Do I know that it is not logical to actually think this way, yup I do. Do I feel that way anyway, yup I do. It just makes me wonder, does everyone have days like this or is it just me, the mental case, that feels like this.

Maybe it is because today is my Monday, and after a 3 day weekend of a friend lovefest it has come to a screeching halt and I am left with only myself and my thoughts. Let me give you a quick run down of the fun of the weekend and maybe that will help you understand the desire to jump in a hole this morning.
Banx LOVES pretty girls! 

Friday, I spent the afternoon on the beach with my friends Amanda, Ilona, and Kati. Then went to Corolla and had dinner with Mama Gee, Miss Helen, Miss Nancy, Miss Judy, Miss Loretta and Miss Wickie which was a great treat!!! Then went on a quick little food delivery and got to see Baby Landon for the first time.
Where my toes spent a lot of time this weekend.

Saturday, I was up early and went to Kickboxing, Zumba, worked out on the beach with Amanda, headed back to Knuckleup to help with Wine Down 5K packet pick up and then spent a lovely evening with Ilona, Charlie and her mom Cookie for dinner.

Banx and his new friend Max.
Sunday, as soon as I woke up I took the little Banx to Duck for a nice long walk on the beach with Ilona and Banx's new friend Max, then home to the beach with Amanda and Alison, then off to the Wine Down 5k with Sandy, Melissa, more of their friends and a ton of bootcampers and friends alike.

Showing we had Sarah with us in spirits.. I mean spirit
Monday, bootcamp first thing, followed by a mad dash to Avon to run the Shore Break 5k with Amy and Lisa, back home to beach with Amanda for 5 hours and then to church with Mike, Ashten Ree, and Betsy!

The mad dash bootcampers! 
TALK ABOUT A WEEKEND FILLED WITH GOODINESS!!!!

No wonder today just isn't measuring up!

I guess the point of my post today is just to say that no matter how things appear on the outside on the inside sometimes I am still really new to this game and some days I really am not so ok.

It's days like today that I just plain miss hugs and someone saying "It is going to be ok."

My wish is that your weekend was as fun filled as mine and that you didn't run smack into a wall of sadness when you got up this morning.

Much Love to you All

Re, it is probably that day after Christmas end of vacation kind of feeling you are experiencing. Also, some of us that suffer from the "not good enough syndrome" will let or minds try to sabotage our efforts when we really ARE doing "good enough"! Hang tight - this too shall pass! Hugs! You are doing AWESOME!

This is why I took the week off. Could not handle today otherwise after so much fun over the weekend.

It will be OK, but I'm sorry you're feeling this way.

Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming...

My heart talks to me in a Dory voice, my brain doesn't.. my brain sounds more like Nemo's dad Marlin. My brain is always grumbling and telling me I can't or I will never be good enough or it hurts way too bad or I am fat or .. there are so many OR's that it is not even funny.  Very much like Marlin in the movie, everything was always gloom and doom. My heart says just keep swimming, swimming, swimming or running, running, running or BREATHING BREATHING BREATHING. Whatever the occasion calls for. (recently at bootcamp it has required all of those and then some). My heart wants so badly to be more than I am, to not be the one in the back, to not be the one the rest of the team is constantly waiting on in push up position, to not be the one who's foot feels like glass just split the bottom of it open again and tries to get off of the shells... cont. Side Bar on Foot:  it hasn't split open just truly felt that way, the only way I can describe what my foot f...

My Best Friend

Let me tell you about my best friend, I do suppose the first thing I need to tell you is that he is well a he. Most girls I know their best bestest friend is a she, not me, but as he will quickly tell you I have never been one to exactly follow the rules. You know how when someone asks how long you have known your best friend and it feels like your whole life so you just say "oh forever", I am lucky enough that I actually have. He has been there through good things and bad and never once did I ever question how much exactly he loved me, even when he didn't particularly like me very much. I am sure when I was younger there were times he thought to himself "Lord what in the world did I ever do bad enough to have to put up with this?" I can't say I can blame him cause there were times I was really not the nicest person in the world, but not once did he ever give up on me. Oh, who am I kidding, he has probably thought that recently. I can say with complete...
