I am having a low energy day, and it was not planned to be that way. I remind myself that I had days before heart valve surgery when I wasn't as energetic as I thought I should be, or I wanted to be. The difference now is that I take it as it comes and don't worry about it. Does it matter if I don't finish my entire list of things I wanted to? Or that I didn't walk as far or as fast as I did yesterday? I was out there and I did walk, but not my usual amount. I recognize that today is a low energy day, and I am saving up my energy for this afternoon when we are keeping the granddaughters after school for a few hours. That means more to me than cleaning the oven or even walking my personal minimum..... those things can wait. Having a valve replaced didn't make me superhuman or bionic....it did make me overall feel better, breath better and I will take that!!
Hope that everyone is having a good day, and remembers to take things as they come! Mostly, be kind to yourself, and take good care!!
