Despite the fact that I'm anxious to hear from the hospital with a date for a consultation with a microsurgeon to discuss my possible DIEP reconstruction, I will be motivated to do good things for myself today.
I will go for a walk in the lovely heath behind my home. I will do my strengthening exercises to prepare for surgery. I will propagate some seeds in the greenhouse - very early carrots, sweet peas and coriander. I will gather more books for my Kindle library. I will dust and vacuum my home. I will sew buttons on clothes. I will cook a delicious dinner for my partner and me. I will enjoy the feeling of being motivated and happy.
Yes, I will make this a good day for myself!
