Is that reflection
or real life before my eyes ?
Some days, I wonder.
***************
I was in a bad mood yesterday. Teary, angry, sad, irritable.
I didn’t have concrete reasons for being so in my own life
but there was a multitude of crazy, sad, scary, unjust, annoying crap
happening to some people in my close circles,
not to mention the bigger world I live in.
(Frankenstorm ? Really ?
Stormaggeddon didn’t finish us off but maybe Frankestorm will ?)
So I struggled all day with shaking off those ick feelings, that crabby mood.
A trip to the beach for rocks and some gull and sand piper play was a beautiful distraction for awhile.
But mostly, I was unsuccessful at keeping the big grey cloud at bay.
Some days, no matter how much goodness and Love you see around you,
the crap just gets to you, you know?
But I am glad to report that after having given into it yesterday, I am feeling a lot better this morning.
Stronger, surer of my purpose on this planet, ready to chase grey clouds away with more Love force.
I think the ick was just a reflection of what was happening around me.
I am ready to get back to real life now.
Sending big Love your way, Beautiful Ones !
Happy Friday!

I don’t know if there will be Haiku My Heart postings in her absence but I will keep the Haiku fires burning here while she is away.
I truly believe that unless you like in a monastary or a convent or some idyllic island secluded from the world, the ick and the grey and the crap are going to affect us. How can they not? We absorb so much and even the most positive person in the world has those kind of days ... yes, even the Dalai Lama I'm sure has days where he thinks he'd rather just stay in bed! We're not made of teflon! xo
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you had some refreshing time to play at the beach and while it didn't remove your "deeps" completely, you know enough to let it ride itself out and then pick up and start a new day with a fresh approach.
As for these photos? I thought they were paintings...they are gorgeous!!!
PS -- I really should proofread before I've had my morning coffee!! hee!!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. As for Frankenstorm - let's just wait and see. I hate to give in to the sensationalists stirring up crap to waste my time with worry.
ReplyDeleteSometimes all the junk tries to attach itself to you,
ReplyDeleteGlad you threw it off

ReplyDeleteYou know the ick is part of real life...like the ebb and flow of the ocean...knowing it changes and the ick will no always be ick keeps me moving...
ReplyDeleteGlad you are on the up side!

There will always be grey days it is good to acknowledge them but remember not to sink into them. Just like the waves go in and out so does life so does our very own breath. Be kind to yourself Kim and know that I am thinking of you and as always you are welcomed today to watch Terry and me sink into the madness of making bullet rings. love u...

Would you please shoot me a quick email and I will give you the details? Here's my address: PersistentGreen(at)gmail(dot)com -- thank you!
