Yesterday was unexpected. It started off with me feeling anxious and upset by the world. The news has not been my friend lately.
I'm concerned by what I see happening in the world. I was doing ok, but then things took a turn, and so I found my way into the happy grass.
Afterwards, I pretty much spent the day stress eating. This is a setback to my progress I want to make on my fintess stuff. I'm about to meditate a while, and try to process out yesterday a little more.
Have I mentioned that ya'll rock? I come back from meditation and there's this wall of positive posts waiting for me.
Thank you everyone for your kindness, patience and acceptance of me. It means so much.
@NiveusLepus Well said. I believe that's also called Toxic Positivity.

Cut the news off. Literally get out and find some grass. Let the sun hit your face. Move. Reset. Maybe some music. You have got this.
@NiveusLepus I feel you. Most of what's bothering me right now is the politics in America added to concern about what secrets Trump might have shared with our enemies. I've been thinking that the best thing I can do is find some political work like writing postcards or something like that. I'm not a Democrat. I'm an independent voter but it seems to me that the Democrats are about the only party interested in governing.
@NiveusLepus Sending good vibes of support for useful processing. I know you can do it! ❤️ 🌺
I'm ok, just kind of flinging my thoughts out into the ether. The world is a lot sometimes, good people help. You are all wonderful folks.
I also know and have faith in the idea that there is always hope, but real hope is as much about doing the work and facing the night as it is knowing there's a dawn coming.
Hope without action is false. Hope is what keeps us on the road moving forward when the days are hard, and things go a touch sideways.
