April Showers Bring May Flowers 💐
April was an interesting month for me. I usually look forward to it, because it’s spring and my birthday is in April. This year it was a little different. I had a team meeting on my birthday and was furloughed from my full-time job. The future is a little unknown and scary, but I am excited for the change. I have squeezed in as many doctors appointments as I could through the rest of April. I went to my annual neurology appointment and explained what had happened. I talked about how my anxiety has been higher than usual and I was stressed about the future. She told me, let’s use this time to focus your health! Ever since hearing that, it helped reframe my thinking. I am trying to do what I can for my legs. I am going to try aqua-therapy or home health physical therapy if the aqua therapy is too hard. I think this will do amazing things for me physically and mentally. This year’s April may have given me some showers, but I am looking forward to grow in May. Change can be scary, but it can also help you grow. I am using this furlough as a chance to do some soul searching and see where life takes me. 💖
