Happy February. I'm so glad to say that. Last month, well....a couple descriptive phrases just ran through my mind, but I don't want to offend anyone, so let's just say: sucked.
It had it's good times, good moments...but I'm just happy to get on with a new month. February is usually good to me. And I have a week vacation coming up, so that will be nice.
I am happy about journaling lately. Around the holidays I really slacked on it, and so now it feels really nice to play around in a few art journals.
It allows me to let go of some heaviness. And I need to do that because lately I've noticed that I'm not as "light" as I usually am. Petty things, petty conversation, people discussing weather too much, well, it's all just really getting under my skin. I've been too contemplative I think. Maybe I just need to lighten up. (God, how I've always hated that term- "lighten up" !! My stepfather used to say that to me as a teenager occasionally and I'd want to spit nails.)
So I need to just let it all go, carpe the shit out of this diem...as the saying goes, and yeah, lighten up again.
So I'm going to keep on journaling, keep on thinking good thoughts, let myself off the hook for not being able to save the world...stuff like that.
Oh, and keep reading lots.
World's-most-awesome-friend Kai sent me this book that I've been wanting to read:
Cause she's just nice like that. Just got it in the mail today and I'm going to hurry up and finish the book I'm reading now so I can dive in to it. So thank you Kai!
Ok, gotta go. Have a wonderful first day of February!
