Today
Hi. I'm putting in pictures so when I put it on Facebook, it doesn't just show the LJ icon. Also, it's fun.
In other news, I don't really have any news. It's rainy outside. I'm taking today to be lazy & have zero expectations. Shower? Maybe. Go out? Nah. Stay dressed in patented around-the-house clothes? Totally. Feel guilty about it? Hell no!!
There's a therapeutic exercise I'm working on: "I have the right to feel angry about ________." It's tough. For future reference, I will refer to this as my anger work, ok? Ok. Anyhow, I often feel I do not have the right to be angry about anything, though I still have the anger. But I write it anyway, & that brings forth all sorts of accompanying emotions with which I may not want to deal. So it's slow-going. The good thing is that I am actually doing this work, not avoiding it all, as per my usual. Avoidance is a big issue for me, & honestly I think it is for a lot of people, whether they realize it or not. Why would anyone want to think long & hard about all the badness in their life & the world? Rumination can lead to all sorts of negativity. But you have to "deal" sooner or later, & the longer you wait the more difficult it becomes. Trust me on that one.
That's all for now. Thanks for reading.
P.S. I think soon I need to bring back the #NoShameSilliness from Instagram I had so much fun with. Soon.
