It's going to be okay.

Autopilot. 

It happens. It happens to all of us. It's that wall you put around your mind, so your body can do its own thing. We zoom through the day going through the motions. Maybe not on purpose. Maybe you're stressed, tired, or hungry. Or all three. 

You're mentally checked out. For me, it's usually due to physical AND mental exhaustion. I find myself not being present. I have to take down that mental wall and allow myself to be present, not only for myself.

As a mom, my days are numbered that Miss K will still hold my hand, climb on my back, and need help going down the stairs. I want to be there. Every. Single. Day. 

So my advice to you:

"It's going to be okay."

Take a minute today and stop what you're doing, put down your connection to the world, stop thinking about yesterday or tomorrow, and close your eyes. Then, as your eyes are closed, take a deep breath in...and let it out. Keep deep breathing. Feel your skin as it touches everything around you. Hear the tiniest of sounds that you didn't hear before. Reset yourself. 

I promise, it's all going to be okay. Whatever is going on in your life is only for today or maybe for tomorrow. But let's just feel each day. Let's be present. 

There's something popular. Zombies. Ever thought, that instead of a zombie apocalypse in the future, it's actually going on now...with us? Something to think about. Let's take care of ourselves and our families and everything will be okay. 

I hope you all have a great weekend. Stay safe and happy. 

P.S. I totally caught you off guard with the zombies.
