One of the many reasons for the 365 is my struggle with PMS. It has affected the quality of life in many ways that I can't describe in only one blog; it's only this year that things have improved since I begun having my cycles at the tender age of 10 y.o.
I have been planning for a long while to change my gynecologist for very personal reason but everything else took priority over it. I know, I know, nothing should be more important than health but again, that is the reason for the 365, to aid my family and I adjust our priority carefully and focus on them.
Yesterday was the first time, I simply did not think of being on time with posting the blog, I gave up being anal, and went to bed to rest my mind, my body. So, you would notice that this once again is a backdated blog (meant for yesterday - Friday but posted today, Saturday).
I will be posting more backdated blogs from the time we went to Germany and the first two weeks of the girls going back to school. It's a lot of work but I have to do it to keep me motivated with the 365 of blogging.
This decision is partly influenced after watching Julie & Julia with the family on our Friday Movie night.
This blog, the blogs I created are personal projects to aid me with the transitions of living a new life here in the Netherlands, and although I care very much for my family and friends, who are supporting me, and are grateful to them and all the readers I have thus far connected since I created this blog, I was reminded by the film, that this journey is ultimately my journey, and I can take any path, or do anything to continue that path I chose, as I began the blog.
It's always a challenge to think straight before and during PMS but it's a relief once the cycle is finish and one can think clearly again. With 365, I realise with much clarity, that I am not crazy all the time, but only most of the time. ☺In between, I am rational, and I contribute positively to the lives of my family, my community and the world at large. I am not only the one, who is comforted but I comfort a lot of important people in my life, too.
On those crazy days, meanwhile, I take solace where I can, usually with the simple comforts of pizza, cola, and brownies.
What are your comforts for PMS (or you partner's) ?
