Lately I’ve been in a funk. Blah, sad, feeling without purpose. Everything has been seemingly covered with a layer of despair, hopelessness emptiness. I thought this was something that I would have to ride out until some undetermined time but today I woke up with a sense of feeling better. Everything may still be funky but it is going to be ok. I woke feeling that I was going to be happy, contented and satisfied. I love this feeling, I feel that despite this rain, despite the gloomy sky I am feeling good and I’m feeling fine.
I am actually scared by this feeling; I keep waiting for the other shoe to fall and that all of the bad feelings will come crashing back and that I’ll be back where I was was, grumpy, miserable, blah. For now I should just ride it out, enjoy the feeling and be happyish.
The rain is making me feel sleepy, so a nap, some trash TV and I am still going to take this happy feeling and embrace it and enjoy it.

Taking hold of the moment and squeezing every ounce of happiness you can out of it is all we can do sometimes. I hope the good times keep rolling for you though!
Napps and trashy TV are the best n Sunday afternoons especially when it gloomy outside!
Hey Rachee…know what they say in Hawaii, right? No rain, no rainbows! One of my favorite sayings and your post reminded me of it.
I can so relate!! Today it’s one of those cloudy days. It rained a little and I loved it. I threw in some laundry, fired in a few good movies, lit some candles around the house and called it a “good Sunday.”
My husband walked in and commented that it ‘smells like fall around here’ – a combo of the crisp cool air outside and the candles inside … it sure does!!!
happy to find you through Fadra’s SOCS!!

What a difference a day makes. Today is the same kind of dreary blah and all I can think of is getting back in bed. Boo! Going to go out and look for a rainbow.

Hi Jenn,
It’s gone from dreary great Sunday to dreary blah Monday. I think when I leave work I am going to grab some candles, light up and drink some cider. Thanks!

It was the trashiest of trashy! I think I am going to try to do this once every few weeks or so. I needed it!
You know…My good feelings were started to fade but I am just going to go moment by moment and squeeze the moment.
