kayaking on the St Joseph river

I'm behind in Life Update posts, but I wanted to jump out of sequence and post about the adventure Bones and I had last Friday

It was the kind of tired where you want to be whiny and high maintenance and throw down what you're doing and say, "Screw this, I'm not going any friggin' farther." So I let part of my brain do that and the rest of me just kept going.

Letting my brain go there makes that part of myself feel heard...which makes it easier (possible?) to trudge ahead when truly needed :)

Sounds like a lovely adventure *raises glass to your next one*

I realized a few years that I disassociate, in that part of my brain will be doing the "waaaaaaaaaah!" - rather loudly - and this allows the main part of my brain to be the adult and keep moving forward.

It's unsettling, but (I gather) not uncommon..
