we all have our pain, we all must survive
my mind was a mix of things this morning -
and I was trying hard to work it out -
I was thinking about my own pain
and then I thought about how we all carry the pain
in our lives
and also have to survive
do the things to take care of our lives daily...
i hope you guys can also find some commonality
and peace to carry you through the day as well!

I have my feelings and yet I also know I have to keep them in context/perspective -my feelings 'so want' me to obsess and go down a rabbit hole with them but then I need to put them aside and leap into action....Sometimes I want to express them.....sometimes it's not the right time to do so.....It's as though it's never been the right time to express them in many situations but last night i went for it while writing my therapist and felt them and it seemed the wrong thing to do but I feel kind of better informed now about my emotions and choices. I realize I can have my feelings and though I can 'go with them' in part I know I'm better off to give myself a structure for the day - so I can have moments of enjoyment and a sense of order
and something planned as well.
Have an excellent day, Mark.
Some more ideas to focus today:
- enjoy a walk
- Birding, or a mindfulness meditation in nature on your headphones
- go to a library
- finish your spaghetti portrait (unless you bought macaroni at Trader Joe’s)
- take deep breaths and a nap later if you need it
thanks for the ideas Nikki!
Just back from the PetSmart where I bought kitty supplies!
