An exceptionally good thing happened to me over the last couple of days.. I had been really feeling bad lately, very stressed out over a number of things. I finally decided "Enough" and phoned a couple of friends, pouring my heart out. They were so accepting and supportive - wow. What a relief.
So yesterday I decided to be as kind as possible to myself. I got plenty of rest, googled some stuff by a lady called Claire Weekes, who wrote several books on "nervous illness" many years ago (I love her stuff), and I finally started to relax and let go of some of the stresses and worries.
I talked myself into doing some minimal shower/food/clothing stuff, then took myself and my writing materials to the local Starbucks (I don't often go there) for a baby sized bit of caffeine. I let time pass until I was done playing with my poems.
By evening I was able to attend a social event I'd almost cancelled out of that morning. It was some kind of miracle that I not only got myself there, but actually enjoyed it. Again - wow. And huge relief.
So sometimes life gives you wow's. May something similar happen to you who might be reading this
