so i feel like i've been in a funk lately. being in the real world again sucks. and, i've been feeling unhappy about it, about the choices i've made and about some unforeseen circumstances that really had me feeling blue.
but, i decided i needed to do something to fix that. i've even heard comments from my family lately that i've been meaner and grumpier than ever. that was really my wake up call. i don't want work and my current circumstances to keep me from truely being happy.
so... i decided today is the new. after a major attitude adjustment, i woke up early (in the dark) and i went to yoga at 6:30 am. it really helped. i was happy all day, and i decided to focus again on the yoga and other things that i know make me happy...
its especially hard right now to adjust to having less daylight everyday. i left the house at 5:45 am and didn't return tonight until 6:45 pm. that means i spent every daylight minute away from home - which is depressing in itself. hopefully the holidays will be here soon enough so that we can get back to spring. i really think holidays were created to help our ancestors get through the winter blues. why else would thanksgiving and xmas be so close together?

As a wise man once said, "Don't worry, be happy!" J/K In all seriousness I hope you find some time to regroup and find your focus.
I think you need a little trip to Vegas. A facial and some shopping and eating out will make you feel better. Not to mention, all of us here who miss you!!
How wonderful for you to get into yoga, and to know that it contributes to your happiness. I find when I don't do those things that keep me sane...I'm not the nicest person in the world. Loved this post!! Hope you find the small things during the winter months that keep you smiling!
Ah, yes...the blues. Yoga/exercise definitely helps - it really is my saving grace when things are rough. And, Shyla actually has a point about "Don't worry, be happy!" I went to a conference on anxiety, and she made us dance to that song. I felt so much better afterwards! :) I think it had everything to do with just being goofy for a while...or the dancing...or both. Let's still try to plan a trip somewhere! :)
Thanks for your comments... I've been whistling the "Don't Worry" song; trying to plan a trip to Vegas; motivating myself to go to yoga; and I can't wait to plan another girls' trip . . . And, now that my hormones have leveled out, I'm not feeling quite so glum either.
