I have been in a funk for the past few days, and I need to snap out of it! Yesterday’s rainy weather wasn’t helping the cause. I think I am stressed out about my stepfather’s illness, how it’s affecting my mother, and then finishing preparations for my sister’s wedding at the end of this month. There’s just so much going on right now!
A rainbow I saw last week!
I have continued to adhere to my workout schedule, which I know has helped. I think I would be a lot worse off if I wasn’t running! 
Tomorrow’s workout is a 7 mile progression run, so hopefully that will kick my attitude up a notch and get the endorphins flowing.
On a happier note, It’s been nice having my mom here for a couple of days this past week. She has been alternating staying at the hospital with John and staying at our place in Providence. The boys have so much fun hanging out with Grammy and are enjoying getting more time with her.
On an even happier note, last night ended with a phone call from my best friend (we were roommates freshman year in college!). She asked me to be in her wedding party, and I can’t wait to celebrate her special day with her. I am so happy for her!
The question of the day for you guys is: When you find yourself in a funk, what do you do to get yourself out?
{{{HUGS}}} It can be so hard to get out of a funk like that especially when the weather is so dreary. I like to try to find a good book to get lost in when I’m in a mood like that – or go down to my little cave in the basement and sew until I fall asleep (well not really but almost). I hope your run helps you kick it!!!

Thanks Liz!! Today was a much better day
I also love getting lost in a good book–it’s better than a movie for me!
Man. I think this “funk” is going around big time — quite a few of us seem to have been bitten by it. Oy. It’s killing me this week and unlike you, I don’t have a real “reason” for it and it’s driving me nuts. I’m hoping that a little vitamin D (aka sunshine) later this week will do the trick. hang in there!

Thanks Jess! I hope the sunshine this afternoon brightened up your day. I think a sunny weekend will help us both out!
When I’m in a funk I try to redirect my thoughts and work on something completely different and enjoyable. Or I crash in front of the tv and watch bad reality shows.

I am SO guilty of watching trashy tv when I just want to check out!
Sorry you’re in a funk. You do have a lot on your plate right now. Hopefully all this beautiful sunshine will help turn your mood around : )
