Ups and Downs

So it was my birthday this weekend. Birthdays are emotional in general for me, so I braced myself. There were highs and lows and let myself be in both. So when I felt terrible, I just embraced it and felt really terrible. When I felt great it was a pointed, shiny greatness, the kind that hums.

I was feeling fantastic on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday morning...I have great friends, I live in a beautiful place, I have a good job, I live in abundance, I'm healthy, I have good hair ;)...then self-pity snuck up on me and sucker punched me right in the face!

So I was in a slump for a few days. But I just let myself be in it. I didn't entertain all the crummy thoughts I could have...but I let myself feel bad...cause I wanted to.

But THEN! It went away. I mean nothing has changed, but I just feel better. I dunno, I guess it just helps to remind myself of the impermanence of moods and feelings and situations. The whole "this too shall pass" bit. It's really true. Thank goodness for that.

I'm sorry I didn't call you on your birthday. I knew that it was the 1st of Sept. If I may say that I love THE HAIR too. It makes me so sad to remember that time that you cut it after Adam #1. Heartache!

I'm blogging now too to work on my writing and typing skills.
