Word of the Week~ PUSH #WotW

This week I am joining a new link up called Word of the Week (#WotW) for the FIRST time. I have a huge love for words!! I often do word of the year and month! So, when I came across this from another blogger, I knew I had to jump in!

My word of the week ~ PUSH

This week started out like always, but I just felt kind of under the weather. I am not sick. I think it's the blasted heat of 100 plus temperatures we have in my state. I am having a little flare up in my body (health things) so I have to play a find balance of PUSH and rest.

I PUSHED through days I truly didn't want to get out of bed. But I did!! I had things that had to be done. Even if it felt like I was walking through syrup or quicksand. I had volunteer work Tuesday. I was glad I pushed myself to go and not cancel. I had a wonderful time and it actually helped me feel a little better getting out of the house. Wednesday was a volunteer luncheon that I forced myself to go to BUT was so glad I did. I learned so much and was treated to lunch. Later that night I had to teach youth a class at church.

Thursday was filled with a doctor appointment and errands. Oh...this day was tough but I MADE it. I also hosted a Ladies Summer Book Club meeting. It was our final meet up for the book we finished together. I had to bake and all that. To help me get through this day I created a haven of cozy at home while I baked and prepared. This helped me a lot. To be honest, I almost cancelled because I really just didn't want to do it BUT again I PUSHED myself. I was so glad I did because we had a wonderful time. My soul was refreshed.

I chose to be slower paced Friday, but things still had to be done. Bills, bookkeeping for our church, and a dinner date with one of our sons and husband. I survived. Haha!

This week was hard, but I kept moving and PUSHING forward. I am thankful. It is okay also to be still. I am a HUGE fan of stillness and slow living. I practice some form daily of slow and stillness. Then there are times you truly have to pull your big boots on and PUSH. This was one of those weeks.
