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?
