Pure Sanity

I think I might have had my first negative funk today... not depression, not even close, but just a general sadness and for no real apparent reason.  I was excessively emotional and just couldn't fully remove myself from this mood.... although yoga did help a ton.  I still felt like I was heavy and a weight was on my chest.

I left a little early from work to prepare for my evening with my kids which included BOTH Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts.  I wasn't sad around my kids or at the events... actually I had a great time at both!  I thought about it after the kids were in bed.... I had lost my negative funk somewhere in the evening taking care of them!  They brought me sanity tonight.

This is something to note because many nights I have noticed that my sanity has been reduced when I go home. :)  Maybe/hopefully, this is a new trend!  I'll take it!

Children, the new psycho-ceudical! :)

What Does Your Fun Look Like?

I was listening to an interview of Allison Armstrong yesterday.. she's a woman who's studied men for 20 years and how women can better relate to them.  She had an interesting topic:  "What does your fun look like?"  And she talked about it by illustrating how different 'types' respond to this scenario: A friend comes to you and tells you 'I'm learning Mandarin Chinese.' What's your response to this?  Mine was 'COOL'! :)  Which I later came to know was the response of an 'Enjoyer'. :)  Her other types were 'Builder', 'Sharer', 'Expresser', and 'Growers and Knowers'. A Builder would respond with something like 'Why would you be learning this?  When will you use it?'  An Enjoyer (me) would respond like 'Sounds like fun!'.  A Sharer would respond with something like 'With whom are you doing that?'.  An Expresser might respond: "What do you want to say in Mandarin?&qu

 AH HA I just remembered you today - lovely blogita.   It seems I missed 2021 in my blog posts, but here we are in 2022 - so nice and even.  This year is going to have at least one post.  So here goes: Second day post-termination thoughts:  I have so much time!  I could start a project.  I could read The Brothers Karamazov as I have been meaning to do.  I could clean (you can always clean), but that may go against my newer found philosophy of 'It's Better Than it Was'.... which is doing some to mitigate the mess, but not worrying about perfection. I had an interview yesterday.  That was weird.... just the getting up and getting dressed and leaving the house for a work appointment.  I had fun.  I like people.  I got lost.  I talked to the ceiling/heaven.  I laughed.  I used a parable in my answer.  Gees... where did that come from?  Heaven maybe? :) Tis time to shower.... I'm a bit oiled up after a 90 min massage that cost $189.  That's bloated.  I felt like the ther

Cycle of Downturns - a Poem

I'm noticing for you because I can feel it. which is kind of the point, You can't. This is where I retreat. I am not here to do your work. What is the loving response? Only you know what's there to transform. This is cycle number three. No change has disrupted the relapse. You are not present. You have receded into hiding. Here I am telling you what you need to do. It feels icky and uneven. Perspectives can be so far apart. I know I can't remain. <3 EE
