little things

I'm supposed to be looking for a job-but I'm not. I am enjoying the quiet and solitude of being alone in my house. It's my drug and for now, I am happy to be addicted to it.
I am tired of the complaining, the feeling stuck, the negativity.
Yesterday I put a big piece of paper on the bathroom wall with the words I AM FEELING and a lovely green sparkly marker. It is a covert way for the big girl to start learning to express herself in a safe way. So far she has written angry, dumb, naive, clueless and this morning, content. I wrote defeated, then tired. R has not written but he has asked me about certain words. I think writing the words has taken the edge of off some of the painful feelings. I think it may have been a really good idea.
Today I ate fresh local strawberries for breakfast-in October! I collected pretty leaves and put the last of the cosmos in a big vase. Tomorrow I get to visit some really wonderful friends. Life can be good when you look at it the right way sometimes.
