The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

The good news is I made this fantastic concoction for lunch and it was delicious. Just an avocado, a hard boiled egg and some cherry tomatoes. Super simple and yummy.

The bad news is I can never buy produce from WalMart again. It's close and convenient to my house, ok? Don't judge me. But a couple months ago I started shopping at Whole Foods because then I don't need to worry about looking for organic and non-GMO because they already did the work for me. The produce is out of this world fresh and mostly local. And now I can't go back to the pathetic WalMart tomatoes from Peru. No contest. Whole Foods wins.

But I wanted to balance out all this fresh new optimism with the ugly truth of my current daily life. I'm not ok. And very small things can still send me into a negative thinking, emotional mess spiral that I let ruin my mood and day. Not fun. But still a good reminder that I am not ok. Even if I have new found hope that a leave of absence will be helpful in the long run, I'm not ok right now. And it will take an active attempt at on-going self-care and life balance before I start to feel ok again. And that's a good thing. But right now, the ugly truth remains: I am not ok.
