Energy

So normally I give Mondays a whole bunch of negative energy.  Until someone (close friend) asked me why? I had you stop and think.  Monday really hasn't done anything bad to me.  Wrll, other than follow a weekend. 

I did eventually think of my reason though.  Mondays are bad days because OF giving it negative energy.   And because of that negative energy, the little things are magnified exponentially  (that word makes me smile).

So this morning I woke up, smiled, said prayers of healing and comfort to my friends experiencing difficulty, recited the Sanskrit poem, "Look Well To This Day", oiled up with essential oils and attacked Monday with Positive energy  (for a change).

Know what?  It's 5:13 and Monday was good. 

Wonder if this plan works on other days of the week also?!

Been A While

Yes, I've been absent from writing.  The last six months have been a bit difficult for me.  It hasn't been that I've had a loss of word.  I have many thoughts and words floating around in my head.

I'm still feeling a sense of grief for the loss of my mother-in-law, Ella.  I've learned, through counseling, her death triggered some unaddressed grief issues.   

Add to the grief, the menopausal symptoms of hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, house renovations, work overload, reunion planning, etc....let's just say I was in a tailspin.

I did go to the doctor to address the menopause symptoms and lack of sleep.   She prescribed Effexor (antidepressant) to help with the symptoms.  In the end, I opted not to take it.  First, the side effects scare the crap out of me.  Secondly, I believe I can rise up out of this and work through this.  

I'm certainly better than I was two months ago and even a month ago.   I've been really using goDesana Essential Oils. I've been exercising more and watching my diet more closely.  I haven't been able to do my morning yoga practice yet but that will come in time.   My yoga mat is the only place that I feel at peace.

I'm going to try to blog more often.  I like writing and it helps to put things down  - to vent.   For those of you reading this - especially family members - do not despair.   I'm fine.  Just working through a difficult period.  No one is immune from having difficult times.  No one.  And if you say that you're a ray of sunshine 100% of the time, I'm calling the bullshit flag on you.  :)

Namaste'
