Keeping Your Mind and Body Sharp

Remember, you can hear my radio program daily on SiriusXM Triumph and connect with me 24/7 at drlaura.com. First, I want to talk about what I did this morning, because I'm hoping it'll help somebody.

Yesterday was a fine day.

I mean, nothing bad.

It was just jam-packed.

So by the end of it, I was tired.

I made some dinner, hopped into bed, and before I knew it, I was out, and I didn't wake up till morning, thank goodness.

Nonetheless, I woke up feeling I'm still tired.

[laughs] I'm still tired.

It was very stressful, but not in a negative way.

I mean, you, you know, you can have a million things to do, and they're all appropriate for the reality of your life, and it doesn't mean anything is bad.

It just means there's a lot, and I still haven't unpacked a lot of boxes.

I, I think boxes are having sex in the garage, and they're making babies.

I'm sure of it.

It's every time I go in there, where the hell did this come from? [laughs] So, you know, every day I'm trying to do my bit to get rid of boxes, and some days I am heroic, and other days not so much perhaps.

So I kind of am a very disciplined person, and that's a good thing and sometimes a bit of annoyance, because if my body and mind are not in the right place to follow through on what I'm disciplined about, it's a little bit of torture.

So what do you do? So I was in my closet area, which is kind of like a room.

I mean, this is a small house, but the way they built it is amazing.

[laughs] The closet I think is bigger than the bedroom.

Anyway, I pulled open a box, and there was a big Ziploc with these six gorgeous balls of sort of turquoise, light turquoise, just real pretty yarn and the beginning of a project.

And I haven't worked on yarn in a long time.

Beautiful wool from England.

And in the box also was the ins- instructions for a sweater, and it was crochet.

And so I looked at what I had done.

I had done three rows.

[laughs] That was it, three rows.
