Bad day today emotionally.
Running errands this AM, heard a cover version of the Simon and Garfunkel song The Boxer, which under the best of circumstances chokes me up, and then thinking about my weekend habit of buying flowers for my AGF.
Went to work on the house and chores to keep down the emotions, wasn't entirely successful.

I don't really have much to offer in the way of advice - except to say, when I get sad, I ask myself "is this helpful? Am I learning something from this sadness or memory?".
You are a really special person and your girlfriend was lucky to have someone who cared enough to buy her flowers every weekend.
Sometimes, it's not about keeping down the emotions. It's ok to sit with them and just accept them... then let them go.

P.S. Put on some up-tempo music and do something for yourself today. If you usually buy your agf flowers, buy yourself something instead.

Bigbasscat,
I'm so sorry, I know that very ache and have been feeling it lately.
I also love that song and just played it in solidarity with you
I agree above, the best advice I would have is to let yourself feel this and feel through what it is for you. And do something good for yourself. That same giving heart that got your GF flowers can do something for yourself right now.
She was a lucky woman, that is a kind and loving thing to do and of course the man who did those things aches thinking of it. You sound strong on SR, and I an only imagine you'll get to do those lovely things once again someday, hopefully for someone who can fully be there in return.
I'm so sorry, this stuff hurts. A gig to you today. Be kind to yourself.

Full moon: be good to yourselves
Hi everyone,
I didn't always believe in this, but the full moon is tomorrow and I have definitely noticed first hand that people's emotions and behaviors can be accentuated during this time, positive or negative. Don't let yourself get baited if your A is in your life and struggling, and regardless, do some extra kind and positive things for yourself!! Just read this, sharing for those so inclined:
From a blog called Mind Body Green:
The full moon is a time of positive opportunity if you use it correctly. It can increase your positive energy or conversely, it can wreak havoc on your emotions.
Since the full moon pours down a tremendous amount of energy, you must be in a calm state of mind to receive a positive effect. Remember that whatever is going on in your body, mind and spirit will be amplified.
If you are angry, you will feel angrier or if you are happy, you will feel happier. During the full moon, the ocean swells and emergency rooms have more patients. The energy is very powerful so it’s important to direct it with positive intention.
Crazy energy as well as loving energy will be intensified. Knowing this is a huge opportunity for your emotional and spiritual growth.
Below are five tips from Feng Shui Your Life for using the energy of the full moon (two days before and two days after) in the most fortuitous way:
1. Refrain from arguing and getting angry.
The full moon is the time to stay calm, let things go, breathe deeply through difficult moments and forgive others for their mistakes. Seriously, if you can’t let something go and need to communicate it (which I recommend), try to postpone sharing your upset until at least two days after the full moon. Whatever happens at this time is multiplied. It’s like having emotional fertilizer. Keep the energy moving in a happy, uplifting direction at home, work, in the car and in your every day interactions.
2. Think positive thoughts.
We all know we should think positively as much as possible but during the full moon, you’ll have a wind at your back. Your positive thoughts will be energized and multiplied. Even if you spend five minutes when you wake up and go to sleep thinking about the positive things in your life, you’ll be doing yourself a big favor.
For example, you could write a gratitude list or a thank you note to the Universe for all you have. You could look in the mirror and say nice things to yourself. You could take a walk and notice all the beauty around you. Imagine that your positive thoughts are sprinkled with full moon glitter that makes them grow exponentially.
3. Envision your dreams manifesting.
The full moon is a perfect time to do your manifestation techniques. Spend time imagining your goals and writing them down on paper. It’s also a great time to make a vision or “manifestation board.” To do this, place pictures and words of your goals on a cork or poster board and place it where you can see it every day. Spending time focusing on your dreams during the full moon gives it extra juice!
4. Meditate by yourself or in a group.
Since the full moon pours down so much energy, meditating during this time creates calm, mindfulness and stillness. You can do it by yourself in a sacred space in your home.
You can also connect with other like-minded friends to meditate in a group. There are many spiritual centers, yoga studios and online groups that come together for a full moon meditation. It’s very powerful to meditate in a group.
5. Send blessings to people in need.
Since you have the full moon power behind you, send healing energy, forgiveness, pink light and loving-kindness to friends, family, colleagues, and strangers. In addition, send peaceful energy to the places in the world experiencing strife, hardship, poverty and war. It has huge benefits for them and as a bonus, you create loads of good karma.
