Still don’t have the heart to try to recreate yesterday’s post lost to the internet vapor, so we’ll see if the ideas ever get their turn at post.
Who knows.
It’s sunny, though, and cool, and I’m seeing leaves changing in earnest, whereas last week there were only hints. I used to love fall, but it’s become a tougher season for me. Both my mom and my brother died in October, more than a decade apart, and my mom’s first anniversary is coming up.
Sometimes I try to stop thinking about these things as they hit me, try to distract myself through, at the moment, a creepy Korean drama (Revenant on Hulu. Intriguing. Creepy). Maybe creepy isn’t the best choice either.
I exercise and craft but eventually the thoughts return. They are there.
What’s on your mind is on your mind.
Sometimes all it takes is acknowledging the thoughts to make them lose their looming nature, to shrink them like shadows as you approach.
Sometimes that doesn’t work either, and you just have to think about them, ride the rollercoaster down the hill and hang on for the ride. We’ve all been there.
Well, I assume we all have been there. If you’ve never been there, I would like detailed, step-by-step instructions.
The key, I think, is not to judge ourselves for having the thoughts that make us heavy, the thoughts we want to avoid. Sometimes avoiding things fuels them.
Sometimes you’ve got to think it all the way through to get to the other side.
Much like we have with this post. Have a great Wednesday.
