I feel better now

[callistra]

Thanks to an LJ friend for providing a ranting space. I am going to go and have a shower, dress for lunch, make a nice cup of organic chai tea and then go and drink it outside in my happily growing vegie garden.

Sometimes life gets hard. How do we not let it get hard? If I was busier, would that make me have less time to have things get hard, or would busier just mean I was exhausted *and* then I'd still get things hard?

I've had a headache for three days now. It's the sort of headache I get when I sleep in the afternoon. My period has been weird this time, a few dizzy spells, strange period pain late in the cycle rather than initially, and a general feeling that everything is just too hard.

I'm starting to look around for baby sitters for vinnie, because we realise it has been a long time since I've had time away. I got an hour the monday before last. Pretty much exactly an hour. And Splanky's labour. I think I have been very focussed on stuff, and now I am trying to remember how to relax! Lunch today should make a difference though. Meljane was talking about doing a course at tafe, and I was thinking how nice that would be, to go to tafe. I, however, would just do something fun and to remind myself that I do have a sense of humour, it has just been misplaced for a few days. I should really go and look down the side of the couch.

I think that it gets hard no matter what you do. Even if you get yourself sorted, a workable routine, lots of time for yourself, lots of energy for you loved ones, there will be days when it is all too much, because as far as I can tell the universe is random. But it sounds like you are making the right moves - focusing on the positives, and dealing with the negatives!

If you can get your babysitter then how about joining us for camping in Albany at Easter? Talk to me about it when I see you next :-)

Center yourself spiritually.

One's faith is not something that one tacks on to one's life when one has time. It is something that must be worked on every day, to center you in your universe. Then everything else will align itself with you, instead of you chasing everything everywhere.

Oh yeah, and we second that "Go camping with us" stuff. But we won't recommend Easter weekend.
