A Tentative Peace

mlerulesThis feels nice. BAPAMAP but w/a spoonful of extra goodness stirred into the mix. Contentment. Phew! A voice pipes up in my head reminding me that it won't last, but to he!! w/that. I'm happy to have reached this space and'm gonna dwell here for a while, gorammit (sp)! *harumph* ;-P
Something's brewing within, but's not quite ready yet to foam up and out yet. Not sure what 'tis. Dunno how it wants to come out. Mode of expression's unclear.
Connected, but not sure how:
I gather that handwork (knitting, &c.) can serve to calm nerves, soothe savage spirits, help one get excess energy out in a productive manner. This isn't something I've ever really done.
Now 'n' again I'll be minorly crafty and/or artsy, but really only when someone sets something up, such as a workshop/tutorial for or party that includes origami or basket-weaving or bead-work or ceramics or whatEVER. Honestly, I tend to shy away from this kinda thing most of the time. I don't have much experience w/it. It doesn't come naturally to me; it's not particularly easy for me. I have lots of friends who're quite artistic 'n' craftastic and I very much admire what they do.
Now I'm finding myself w/extra energy, w/excess energy. Hmm, really what I need to do is find a way of earning money rather than taking up a hobby. Mebbe both (separately) would work well for me.
Balancing not-so-nicely is the fact that at times of late I find I have next to no energy at all. Hmm, mebbe that's just the needed recharge time(s), which is more 'n' longer now b'c of recent life shifts. More grounding's needed b'c rug's been pulled out from under me.
It seems though as if I had a lotta energy for a long-@ss time. I've felt drained lots recently. Thus, self-care becomes just that much more vital. Self-care includes dealing in healthy ways w/excess energy when (as?) it arises.
Sparks remain. Tinder & kindling exist. More time will tell. All is well right now though. This matters a lot.
