Much improved
Finally feeling like I'm coming out from under everything that happened in the past week or so. Still not over it all, but dealing much, much better. Some beers and conversation with _fool last night was exactly what I needed, and I've been feeling optimistic today for the first time in recent memory.
So, here's to hoping I can hang onto this for awhile.
Now, of course, I have to deal with the aftermath of having spent a bit over a week ignoring my practices pretty much completely. I'm out of shape and a little scared to balance my checkbook. I'm stiff and sore from not having been doing any real stretching. But I can start addressing all of that pretty easily with a little effort.
It hasn't hurt that a friend bought me a copy of Pema Chodron's When Things Fall Apart. It's been awhile since I've read it, and it's very much what I need to be hearing right now. I choose to experience my pain and vulnerability because it opens me to greater love and freedom.
