All that shoveling must have been rough on your back afterwards!<br />Remember to be kinder to yourself and YES ! invest in a snowblower for sure!<br />Please don't feel alone with OCD .. I have struggled with it most of my life and it does become more intense during certain times of our lives when more stress issues bang away at us. Remember to stop and take a breath .. try to calm your mind and body even if it is just moments. You need to take extra care of yourself during those times. I know it is easy said than done .. I have been there and will be there again .. we devise coping strategies on top of the OCD .. funny right ? since the OCD is a coping strategy for us as it is.<br />In any case .. I wish you the best of luck getting settled into your new home : ) Take care !<br />JoyCanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.com
