~:[CH10 - Day 65]:~ Prickly
Many of us have our prickly sides. It probably has become more evident during the pandemic as we deal with everything around us. It can sometimes be our way of distancing ourselves from others or simply a defense mechanism that may not be able to be explained. However, while that prickliness can often be seen as a negative, it's understood that we must create our own boundaries and draw the line where we feel the most comfortable during the right times. Sometimes we just need our space or there are certain areas of our lives that we just want to protect. Regardless of what it is, never feel bad for protecting what you want to protect, but also remember to not distance yourself from the world at all times. As I enjoyed the views of the outdoors after a morning in committee sessions, it was nice to break away from the computer screen and enjoy a breath of fresh air. Doing so has allowed me to keep my balance and I hope we all found our way to balance yours. As the sun set, it felt so good just to soak it all in as my prickliness faded away, allowing me to relax and enjoy all around me. It was a long day, but a wonderful day, capped with a much needed walk with the healing power of nature.
