Today I WILL Cry :)

I can already tell it's going to be a moody day, and I'm okay with that. The crazy wind facilitates change and when things gets blown around, stuff gets unearthed and must be felt and released, or buried again for a later date.

I enjoy a good funk every once and again. As an optimist it's really hard for me to let my self slip over to the depressed side, and I don't get to enjoy the goods parts of those days. What's good about being depressed, Jo Anna? Let me tell you, if handled properly is can be a sad little couch vacation for you. Wallow in it, watch sad movies and cry all day. Eat mashed potatoes and ice cream and wear your bathrobe while you lay under blankies. Do it right. If you do it right, it will be all out of you be the next day.

The thing is, you can only stay a day! Any longer and you're in the quicksand of very bad outcomes. Like you not going to work (or whatever it is you do), or bathing, or grooming at all, no eating, stinky, greasy, zitty...do I need to go on? Thank you.

We should honor our sadness and not push it aside. If you feel mopey, mope. Do it. Make Mope your buddy for the day and hang out. Watch Mope's favorite movies like “Steel Magnolias”, or “Terms of Endearment”, or any other movie that proves love is a lie and life sucks anyway. You'll be bored by 4pm most likely.

I may have a day with Mope today, but I have other things I want to do even more. I am starting my Hypno training in dreams and metaphors today, that is exciting stuff! Too exciting to mope, I think I'll cry with JOY instead and spend my day watching movies that make me cry with JOY, lie “50 First Dates”, and “Overboard”, and “16 Candles”.

All I know is that I will cry today. It's inevitable, I am looking forward to it. Have a great day!
