BAH

There are THINGS on my MIND that cannot be un-minded. Things that ask many questions, that do not offer answers. Things I haven't had the time or wherewithal to sit down and figure out. I get too excited, and then I get afraid, and then I get all "THIS MUST BE PERFECT." Except it's more of a low and solid and determined thing said between gritted teeth: this must be perfect.

Which, I know is... you know. What's stopping me from getting anywhere in the frist place.

I'm working on it, as best I can. My thing this week as far as "getting in alignment" and just trying to regain my usual gale-force storm of positive perspective is to be more general about what I want, and continuously be on the look-out for things that are going well, things I've accomplished, and things that make me really happy. I've been impatient with getting back on the wagon of writing, but I'm still burned out, and I know it.

I've been learning to crochet. I've been reading. I had a very relaxing weekend with Jared and Katie and Pete, and we talked a lot about things that emphasize what I'm dreaming about doing. Slowly, but surely, I'm getting my groove back. I'm sure it's no coincidence that we're eeking towards spring.

Right now, I just need to focus on being patient with myself, and finding joy for the sake of being joyful.
