Thoughts, Feelings, or Whatever

The weather has been so cold. I blame the groundhog and want to punt him into Alaska. I won’t, but this six more weeks of winter is bull.

I’ve found myself in a negative headspace lately. With the weather being dark and cold, the state of the world going deeper and deeper into chaos and fear, and being single again, I question so much of what is going on.

I know this isn’t my normal posting, people are used to just seeing concerts and that type of stuff, but that’s not all I wanted this blog and website to be.

So here I am, writing about Valentine’s Day, or honestly, about feelings, and hoping it helps.

I am taking this Valentine’s Day as a reset. Here is how I am doing that. With some affirmations/clarity on how I plan on living my life:

• I know the love I want and deserve, not just romantically, but how I want love to show up in every aspect of my life and I am not settling or changing for that.
• I will nurture the love I have in my life by being more present and acknowledging my gratefulness for it to my people.
• I will be more forgiving and graceful with myself and my loved ones, we are all living this life for the first time. Embrace the lessons.
• I will buy the candy and/or do the things I want to do if I had a romantic partner. I will not wait for my joy. I will be joyous. But maybe I’ll buy the candy tomorrow, so it’s discounted.

If you are feeling alone or weird or just off today, that’s okay. This is just a regular Saturday where the word “love” is the focus. If you aren’t in a place of love right now, “like” is just fine. I hope you can do something specifically for you today that helps you to feel better.
