Walking Tall

April 26th, 2010

Good Monday morning to you!

Here’s a free MP3 to start your week! This is my first time hearing this song and I must say… AWESOME!
Walk Tall by Ziggy Marley (feat. Paul Simon)

Monday morning is always a little celebration for me.  The kids go back to school.  Mike goes back to work.  A calm hush falls over the house.  Even the dogs seem to sleep quietly in their spots just a little more and the cats don’t have a lot to say about anything.  _sigh_ Monday.

I woke up feeling good today.  It may be simply because it’s Monday!  Whatever the reason, I’m happy to be happy again.  It’s been a long weekend of funk.

It can be so hard to pull yourself out of a yucky mood.  Sometimes I feel down and withdrawn and sort of depressed for seemingly no reason at all.

I try to get back up and find something good to focus on, but sometimes I just can’t climb out of the hole.  That’s about how I’ve felt since Funky Friday last week.  The best I could do was to keep to myself and just not be a bitch to anyone.  LOL

I DID get all my veggies transplanted yesterday and spending time in the greenhouse DOES make me feel good.  It may not wipe a gray day clear, but there’s a tranquility to it that makes my heart smile.  Plus there’s the added bonus of it being 50 and partly cloudy outside, but an easy 85 and balmy in the greenhouse.  It’s like being in a sauna.  And I’ve been wanting a sauna for years now.  I just may start actively using my greenhouse as a sauna. _giggles_ I love when great ideas pop.

I spent most of the weekend with my favorite tunes in my ears.  I even told the boys, “I’m not your mother today, go ask your father….”  Thank Goddess Mike understands.

Today I am grateful…

that today is Monday!
that I feel happy.
for my husbands support, even if he doesn’t understand.
for my superior health and wellness.
for my freedom to create.
for my friends.
for the light at the end of the tunnel.
for the rain.
for my garden.

okay, there are just too many more to continue.  I could be here all day!  Have a blessed Monday :)
