Trying to get on w/life the universe and everything but also taking time to grieve/mourn the doors/futures that've slammed shut. Taking emotions by and large as they come, although sometimes I must stuff 'em for a bit 'til a more convenient time/space arises for getting through 'em. Luckily I've got the luxury of time so can often drop what I'm doing and cry if/when/as the mood hits. Marvelously, I've got great friends who help me cope and remind me I'm not really all alone. Thanks to ya'll for this.
This morning started bleak 'n' grey, but pretty quickly I managed to stave that off. Feeling dreary ain't positive coping/mourning; it's just not-very-helpful down-ness. Now feeling moderately peppy, actually. It helped hugely that friends reached out and asked me to join 'em on an adventure/expedition. I feel really good 'bout this and so'm heading out in a bit for that.
Getting sh!t done seems to work really well for feeling good 'bout myself/my sitch. Sometimes it's tricky getting up 'n' going on stuff though. Feeling like I'm surfing sometimes: sitting in the water, watching the waves come, figuring which to try to catch, sometimes getting the wind knocked outta my sails, mixing metaphors like oil 'n' vinegar, blahblahblah
Biggest 'n' bestest thing I've accomplished recently: hiking all 80+ miles of trails in Forest Park w/
delerium3 from 03/26/11 - 10/01/11 for the All Trails Challenge to raise money for the Forest Park Conservancy. Whee-yah! Photos from our 18 hikes (well, 17 hikes and 1 biking day) are here under the linkie.
