Good morning folks.

I have been completely lazy the last couple of days and had no ambition to do anything. At times I have even been feeling a little down. The weather has been wet and gloomy so perhaps that has something to do with it.

I am usually a pretty positive person so it bothers me when I'm feeling down, and often in the past that was a trigger for drinking. Even though logically I know everyone has these feelings, I feel like there is something wrong with me when I feel down. I am so blessed in my life with so many positive things, so why should I feel down? I was sitting in my sunroom for a bit yesterday while letting the dog out and, remembering something I read on this site, I just allowed myself to feel the emotion. I didn't try and fight it or mask it. And it was ok. Nothing bad happened. This is something I need to learn to do - to be able to sit with my emotions.

Today I feel more energized and I'm ready to have at it.

Have a good one everyone!
