not taking too much to heart today!

[write]

yesterday I had a frustrating day, ex n-h was a pain the night before, I've been waiting for this business email, I had to make up my mind about a job...by the end of the day I was really down and frustrated, and all my recent confidence evaporated for a while.

I can easily sink into total despondency when I get like this, but I got a lovely message from someone on the board, then a parcel from England, and to distract myself I cut and coloured my hair and watched some tv.

This morning I was really sick- so I guess I was low because I was going down with something.

I certainly had some bleak thoughts as the day went on yesterday, it took me a while to divert the downward spiral.

I feel fine now, maybe one day these 'shaky days' won't bother me at all? I'd love to think 'oh, I'm having a rubbish day' and that's it!

Dear Write,
Sounds like you did the exact right thing one does with rubbish. You carried it outside. (Or posted it here, same idea!)

Sorry you had a rough day, but impressed you realized that being physically unwell, coming down with something, can trigger emotional "flu" too.

I hope you're feeling better today.
(Your hair's lovely, dear. Watch more TV. I know, it's bad for one, but I like it a lot when I'm blue.)

I bet you a sawbuck you WILL soon be able to say, "Oh, this is just trash day."

Hugs and cheer and a cup of chamomile,
Hopalong

Thanks H.

Honestly, the thoughts I have can be- ugh, very negative.
I guess I'm making a start on not letting them rule me, and today, though I was feeling ill I went back to bed for a while and woke feeling very relaxed, then did all the things I needed to do.

One strange and wonderful thing I happened- I turned down a job I've been procrastinating for a few days, I realised it's not exactly what I need right now; the Director called me later and said just after I emailed she got a phone call from someone else they interviewed and offered the job to before and she couldn't do it, only now her circumstances have changed and she can. She'll be perfect for it. Synchronicity!

And the other messages I was waiting for arrived too. Patience....I wish I'd hurry up and get some of that
