A Quick Trip To Chuntersville

Let me give you a little insight into my head this morning “oh I can’t face getting up, it’s bloody grey again, I hate rain, I hate January, I need some sunlight, it’s a terrible shame for me, I don’t want to do that, why can’t people just leave me alone, I’ll never get this done, my desk is a mess, I don’t want to…” As you can imagine, it wasn’t much fun being me today! At one point I wanted to put my head on the desk and cry buckets.

I am not generally a whiner (except in winter), but I have my moments where everything is a stress, a chore, a pain and I just wish the whole world would leave me alone. When I am being a whiner there is usually a reason for it – no, not that everyone in the world is a pain in the ass – today that reason was that I was tired and feeling a little run down. Perfectly simple, but my attention was firmly focused on the outside of me, at where everything and everyone was annoying me!

Your true self is a sunny, optimistic, excitable being (remember that one that you were when you were 3 years old – that was you before the world drummed it out of you) so often when you feel bad, it is because you are holding yourself apart from who you really are. When you look into WHY you are holding yourself away from who you really are, you can fix it. In my case, all I needed was a little tlc and I was right as rain again. Hmm, maybe I shouldn’t have mentioned rain, I feel another little chunter coming on…

Love

    Well, we’re due even more snow tonight…and at the weekend. Everyone here is totally flummoxed. For the last 10 years or so we’ve had hardly any snow…and it goes away real quick. This lot is sticking around – much to my disgust! I like the snow, but I really really want it to be warm now! xx

    Yah! Sooper-doozy snow!
    At least here we usually get brilliant sunshine, after it stops snowing! I guess “London’s record snow” has fallen off the front pages in the States ~ how’re you doing now, a couple days later? It’s been close to zero F most days in Chicago, except when it’s closer to 40! Crazy weather changes ~ K

    Lol – thanks Karen…sadly February has brought snow, not the milder weather I was hoping for! Still, my desire to be living in the sunshine is stronger than ever!

    I did have a little weep, thanks – I like to have a good cry every now and again!

    Hey Donna!

    Well, it’s now February ~ hope you’re feeling better today! TeeHee, hugs!

    Sometimes, when you “just feel like crying”, that’s really the best thing to do! It’s easier on the heart, soul AND body to let the stress (whatever its cause) out with your tears, and let the Cosmos deal with it, than to keep bottling it up, especially when it’s so intense that it comes to the “top of mind”!

    Close the door to the office if necessary, and let it out. Or take a walk, and “hug a tree” for a few minutes! Hope that helps!

    Zen Hugs from Chicago, too!
