somewhere in the middle

I was going to come to my journal just now and write 'half an entry' -


my Dad used to use the turn the phrase "half an answer" which meant


along the lines of "have a question... create an answer as well"


I found when I tossed my precaution to the wind in order to take my walk


a little while ago - my spirits rose and I felt great!


I came home and had lunch.. reallly wolfed it down and then suddenly felt so


untethered and I started to crash emotionally - feeling so aimless...meaningless.


Now I'll say that - maybe we can't always toss our concerns to the winds - it's good


to let ourselves be free sometimes - but perhaps we also have to remember to own our emotional 


states as well. Be self responsible as boring as that may seem - it's really all I've got right now.


I started to see all the things wrong with my life and my appetite was yearning - but


I'll keep a lid on it - and use my enthusiasm for walking, like I did today, help motivate me


on future jaunts. Gosh I wish I didn't have to do this but so it goes...planning for life can 


seem exciting - but then you have to bring yourself along the way as well.



Peace and hugs! I go back to work tomorrow!

The price of freedom is taking responsibility for your own well-being. Damn! ! ! There's a catch to everything, isn't there?

Maybe it’s just a bad day. Some days I can appreciate my troubles in a sense of perspective and write them out. Today I am trying to find some sense of reason and you guys are so great to be there. I look forward to my therapist tomorrow. I can hold on till then. Just don’t feel so strong or sure. My stepmom just helped me to feel a sense of value.
