at last!
seems everyone has mentioned the election already in their journals except for me :P don't feel much like being melodramatic tonight. had a couple good freak-outs this past month with work and stress and CRAP CRAP CRAP but I'm winding down and everything seems to be improving. I really inherited my dad's temper!! john is super special for putting up with my craziness. my last episode was saturday night, and I woke up sunday feeling like another woman. my mood improved literally overnight, and since then I've gotten frustrated but remained much cooler under stress than normal. I'm doing okay, and I'll be okay.
so yeah about the election. it's scary to be feeling good about a democratic pair again. I mean, I think we could do even better-but kerry and edwards seem capable enough of fixing the most important issues at the moment. read an article recently about kerry's back-pedaling on some of his campaign promises. it seems more like it's clarification rather than back-pedaling. when you are short for time you can't really get into detail about your plans, you skim the surface to attract attention and move on to the next issue. but people will say whatever they want. I am not really nervous about the election, I've been pretty lazy about politics but I just can't seem to get myself really worked up. it's like I know it's all out there and I want to get passionate about it, but really I had way too much other stress to take on any more.
I'm really seeking positive stuff to fill my life with. I started writing in a real-life paper journal whenever I get crazy. the holiday season is fast approaching and so it's time to really get crafty in the kitchen. that plus christmas shopping is going to be a fun hobby to lose myself in. also thinking about finally signing up for a yoga class since I have more money now and it would help me meet some new people. not to mention it will help keep me from getting too stocky over the winter :) :) seeing marcus the other night was really good! I'm heading up to fred this weekend to see angela and patience and that will be really good too.
I feel stripped but in a good way. like the strain of last month just left me with very little and now I'm ready to absorb some fresh new stuff. I spent more time than normal today reflecting on my own happiness, how in love I am with john and how I adore this little place in the valley. I have needed peace in such a big way and it is always here for the taking. only now, I actually feel ready to welcome it in. I feel good :)
