Right now, I'm feeling good, energised, open, ready, optimistic. I haven't felt as all-round well since about March or maybe March 2006 (no that's an exaggeration, but 12-year cycles are a thing, y'know)
And I didn't really get there until this morning. The rest of the week has felt a lot like wading through treacle and as a former 2nd place Champion Treacle Treader (West Midlands, sub-region 3) I know of what I speak. This year has been a bit of a trot through the ashes, lots of death, both literal and metaphorical. I think (famous last words) I'm on the up again though. I'm feeling lighter and not just because of all that running and green smoothies.
The lightness is so important, heavy serious thinking gets me on the floor every time. Abstinence is the only thing that works but picking up the next think is more difficult to avoid than I imagine.
I've got a retreat coming up next week and then we're down to the coast to see my mum's new place the following weekend and once we're into November proper, I think it's all going to be a bit whooshy. A heavy question mark still hangs over my attendance at SteemFest3, but keep your fingers crossed.
