ok, feeling overwhelmed by expectations in the new year yet? holy moly, I sure have been!
I really reveled in it for a few days -- had two (or was it three?) magnificent naps, some dazzling hot baths, then got up, kicked my own butt a little...then rolled up my sleeves and tackled about 20 little tasks that have been stacking up.
some were as menial as organizing a drawer, others more arty like framing and hanging up these lovely southern landscapes in my new office (gifts from a dear friend several years ago). all of it made me feel happier, more optimistic. step by baby step...
it is true that "motion creates emotion," to paraphrase tony robbins. that said, allowing myself (with the loving support of my husband) to take these days and simply feel sad and overwhelmed, and take naps and hot baths -- without beating myself up for not "accomplishing" something...that was pretty key.
so back in motion i go for now, outside to gather sticks for the fire. then to sit, and rest, and nap again...
