This weekend was weird. I keep getting swallowed by the nightmare monster... or, as Jim calls it, going into "the dark place." It's hard to climb out of, but Jim is an excellent listener (when we have time to talk through things) and he really helped me yesterday... I've been unhappy, irritable, and nitpicky--even though I had a bad week last week (at least Wednesday - Friday) and Saturday didn't go as well as I'd hoped, that's still not a good enough reason why I should have been feeling so low.
Jim says I think too much, and it's true; I stew in things and they circle around and around in my head until that's all I can see. When Jim said I should just tell my mind to calm down and take a back seat to my heart, even though it's always been hard for me to clear my head, I was able to do it at that moment and I felt this rush of love flow through me and all the petty bullshit fell away.
Now I just need to teach my new kitty, Inky, not to attack my eyelashes... It's unpleasant to wake up to paws with sharp little kitten claws batting at your eye...
kitties,
