Gray day inside and out

Today is overcast and I kind of feel the same. Not bad really but just low key and very quiet. I woke up as usual and got to checking my emails, then moving on to my daily’s at zaadz and myspace., while at the same time doing some magazine business.

I started not to feel so great. No real reason I just felt a bit down and my energy really shifted. I closed everything up that I was working on. I did not want to send out my current energy with the emails I was working on sending. Those of you who have seen the movie Like Water for Chocolate know what I mean.
In the movie the eldest sister sends her emotions through her cooking and it affects those who eat it.

I thought a minute about what I should and I decided to go lay down and have a good cry. Not the sobbing hysterically upset kind, but just a nice easy release. I read that crying releases endorphins into the blood stream it also helps the body release toxins and this is why many people feel better afterwards.

Paul my bf came to see if I was ok, as I do not usually have a lay down at this time. We talked a bit and I assured him nothing major was wrong. Sometimes the little things can build up and you just need to let them loose.

When my cry was on it’s way out, I got up for a few minutes and started something productive to add to my  feeling better. I got the laundry bucket out and started to wash  our curtains.  When we do not do laundry at the laundry mat here (which is a 10 minute walk through town) we wash our cloths or what ever is being cleaned in a big plastic basin. Dust is really bad here so we really have to work to keep on top of it.

After starting the first curtain, I went back to bed and was reading my current book Communion by Whitley Strieber.  This also made me feel better. The topic of the book is about Whitley a non-believer coming to terms with his Alien abduction. I was reading away thinking that I really have nothing to worry about by comparison. Around the time I finished his first session with a well respected  hypnotist and then I grew a bit tired so I put the book down for a cat nap.

Upon waking up It hit me sometimes you just need to give yourself a second chance to wake up and start the day again. Even it is only from a short  time out. So here I sit having my (2and) morning iced coffee. Got my second curtain washed and hanging on our cloths rack on the veranda. Oprah’s Debt diet show is on  and I am going to post this and go watch it. Nothing like hearing stories about people who are far in debt and getting out of it to make you feel better about your own drop in the bucket.

Great comment WhoAmI nice to know others are of the same mind on waking up more than once a day lol.

Breeze  Thanks for sharing the film. Interesting how it takes some people a lot to cry and others nothing at all. I wonder why that is?

EarthEnergy Well said.
