HKS (Healthy, Kind Support) Accountability Group June 10th
Hello HKS Blenders.
I don’t really know how to start today’s thread. Last night I was trying to find a quote to share here, but I had a rough day yesterday which made me, well, lose hope. I find it very hard to view the world as a safe place and keep faith. Therefore, it doesn’t sit right with me to post a hopeful quote today. I’m sorry for that and hope you will understand. I’ll add a photo as inspiration/something beautiful instead and would like to ask you, if you want to share, what has helped you when you were in a situation when you lost hope and did not know how to go on? Maybe I can find some wisdom in that.
Tuesday I heard my dad would be starting chemo, which made me think (naive, I know) that the tumor would be treated and just maybe things would go the right way. Yesterday I visited my parents and understood that the prospects were very bleak and my dad mentioned that it would be more like stalling, gain more time. At that point I got completely locked within myself, my mind went into shutdown and could not process these facts. I have been trying to put my fears away because I can’t cope with them and am afraid I’ll fall to pieces if I try to grasp everything. I lie awake for hours every night and then this realization of what is happening hits me hard.
Anyway. This is my life right now, but let’s go over to yours. What is on your to-do list today? Any summer-y things you’re planning? Cooking or baking something?
Workouts have been challenging here the last few days, I think I’ll stick to yoga/meditation today and get in a walk while running errands. The new warm up seems nice.
Everyone’s welcome here, don’t let my heavy story hold you back from sharing your day and workout(s) or rest day activities here. Wishing you all a sunny day with positivity.
