I wish I had a “healthy”
habit to soothe my soul. I wish I could run with the wind in my hair and music
pounding in my ears. I wish we had the sea at our door where I could rush in and
swim until my emotions were back on an even keel. I wish I could dance the
night away with no one watching.
But right now (11.30am) amazing
chocolate, coffee and a simple purple flower will have to soothe the ache in my
soul. I also have an amazing new nephew and every-time I look at him my heart
melts.
The past few months
have been an emotional rollercoaster for family and friends. There is hurt that
has occurred that I have no power to fix or control; which is hard because I am
a control-freak.
There has been
heartache, anger, death and life and while I understand that these things are
part of life I/we still have to live through it. I also understand there are
people who are suffering greater tragedies in this country and this world and I
am still deeply concerned and compassionate towards other people for their
grief or loss.
Sometimes it all just
gets too much and I need an emotional “reboot” so that I can be a better wife,
daughter, sister and friend. It would appear that the next few days are the
time for that.
So sleep, a relaxing weekend,
reading, music, the gym, a swim, a movie (or two), cuddles with our cats and summer holidays with
friends and family will help get me back on track.
What gets you back on
track?
