Balanced out

In life, we all have someone who leans on us.  And in turn, we all have someone we can lean on, if we're lucky.  But what do you do when you're feeling down, a little blue, and that person you usually go to for some moral support isn't at a place where they can give it?  How do you find your balance then? I struggle with this from time to time.  In all honesty, it probably cycles around every 5-6 months, where everything seems to be irritating and grating on every nerve.  You need an escape, someone who can hug you and tell you it will all be ok in a little while.   I'm a strong, upbeat kind of person.  I'm usually the one people come to for that.  But where does the strong person get their support? 

Lately, I've been finding that when I get to this point, I withdraw.  Its easier to be alone, to focus and think, than it is to seek out someone.  I've been using my time at the gym, my workouts, to get through this latest rough spot.  Work stress is the easiest to release at the gym; some of the other things aren't as easy.  I planned a quick getaway in May to go home, see my folks, maybe get some time on the beach.  I am always drawn to the ocean when I'm home; should afford me some great photo ops as well.  yay!

Speaking of balanced out, I had another training session with Daemeon, and we worked on a lot of balance and core Friday morning.  Funny how you think you're OK and then you get asked to try something and holy cow -- So there's a bar at about 3feet high, and I'm going to do pushups on it. Not a big deal ---- until he has me standing with my toes on a balance ball!  Talk about engaging core muscles I didn't even know I had!  I thought those would be sore today, but nope, its my arms. hehehe So I know I'm working when I have my sessions. 

I hope everyone has a very Happy Easter weekend!  My "baby" turns 26 tomorrow... where have all the years gone?
