It must have felt very cathartic to write this. Whenever I feel off, I like to lose myself in Mother Nature. Sometimes the humble feeling I encounter when exploring nature really is eye-opening.

It reminds me of the saying "stop and smell the roses"....sometimes we just have to remember, even on our worst days, that there is beauty and happiness out there for all of us :) <br />Please don't stop writing!

Of course.." which is what I do.. I hit my favourite trail, which to me is a best friend (yes, a trail as a best friend) because it has seen me through dark times. It knows my secrets, and I work out my problems on a pair of Nikes on gravel.. <br /><br />Then when I got to the bottom of your post, where you say 'When you feel off, do what you love.' I was thinking "AH HA!"<br />I love running! I mean, I knew it.. but I didn't answer that question at the top of the post thinking that way… running is just what I do to feel better.. How amazing to realize running to me is like writing to you.. <br /><br />"when you feel off: do what you love" <br />Wow! Thanks Miriam<br />Lightbulb!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10549833456589567969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1532204237192804954.post-38905869037749206502015-02-03T14:33:07.811-08:002015-02-03T14:33:07.811-08:00Writing is such a powerful force, it makes us see ...Writing is such a powerful force, it makes us see the view the beauty in our words.

It's so easy when you feel like that to just feel sorry for yourself and mope around thinking 'ugh I really don't want to go to work' etc. That negative mindset right there determines how the day will go. I love your ability to work through it and come out positive so quickly! <br />P.s. I've missed you girl!

Instead, I hibernate and stew. It's not nearly as healthy as your approach.

It's like they're trapped and stewing inside and until you just put pen to paper (fingers to keyboard!) they'll just grow worse! Every now and then, I'll write some sort of nod to my problems or things that are bothering me in my blog, but I've got a diary at home where I really vent. We're talking full on rip-the-paper-I'm-so-emotional venting. But you're absolutely right: once it's out and down and you can fully process it, it feels like a HUGE weight is off your shoulders :) It could just be because I love writing, but I definitely think it's a great way to get out of a funk!<br />~ SamanthaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06392458590320351019noreply@blogger.com
