When I'm Down, I'm Down... But When I'm Up, I'm Really UP!
As of this past week I have been going though an emotional funk. The past 2 days have been good for me, especially today. I've come to realize even more so that I find pleasure in the simple things:
Shopping for presents for my sister
Trying a new cup of coffee or tea
Looking in antique stores but never buying anything
Smelling random lotions/perfumes/soaps
Noticing how the sun casts artistic shadows of tree branches
The feel of caffeine rushing through my veins
Having unplanned conversations with a really good friend, and wanting to make it a habit
Discovering a peaceful place to come and visit again...and again...
The warmth of the sun on a regularly cold day
Feeling like I accomplished a meaningless something
Trying on shoes just for the hell of it
Purposefully breathing heavily to see your breath come out as steam
Listening to the same song over and over again just to feel the same emotion
Knowing what it feels like to be yourself again...contentment...after a dry spell
