Novermber blahs?

Last night I really realized what a prisoner I am in this body. I was unable to sit up or stand up without losing consciousness. I was hived up and flushing. It felt like there was a bear on my chest. This gives me an odd fluttery sensation in my chest at the same time that is disconcerting. It forces me to stay on the couch when all I want to do it get up and DO things.

Winter is here. It's cold. My winter coat is tighter that it was last year. I need to do something about that.

I wrote some of my book today. That was good. But isn't exactly a good cardio workout...know what I mean?

I've left Facebook. The withdrawal pangs I felt all day yesterday were immeasurably strong...like someone needing a 'fix'. Who knew that social media could feed such fervour in a person? I've gotten over the 24 hour stretch and am feeling fine. My life hasn't fallen in around me in any great way. I've given my private email to a few hand picked individuals that I truly care about sharing correspondence with, some already have my private email or phone number, and the rest...well...

Let's see if I remember what life was like before I spent most of my reclusive life watching people's statuses change, changing mine or posting inspirational images or sayings....I have a book and a collection of poetry to write. Best get cracking.

LOVE

Love is a funny thing.

It can lead you down a path that might not be healthy for you.
It can lead you to your soul mate.
It can lead you back to your Self.

But you have to be real about it.

If what you have in front of you is GOOD...Be there. With her. And love her. Don't wish to be elsewhere.

BE Present.

Long Time No See...or as the Japanese say "O Hisashiburi"

I'm sorry I haven't blogged in a LOOOOONG time. I have been in the murky muds of depression me thinks. So many anaphylactic reactions (1 a week or so, or more...), recovering, feeling isolated, and continuing to try and figure out WHO I am now.

I've started writing a collection of poetry, tentatively called "Finding Abraham's Daughter"...as you can perhaps imagine, it is what it sounds like - an exploration of the Jewishness that perhaps has always been inherent in me? If that makes any sense...And I mean I've STARTED. I've just written a few things. But I have been able to see a vision for this as a COLLECTION, so that's why I'm holding to it as such. One must have goals.

It's time for me to return to the land of the LIVING. I haven't read much of anything; listened to much of anything; seen much of anything; made much of anything; engaged in much of anything. I've been sitting and sleeping on this same spot on this couch for months now and it's not getting me ANYWHERE, is it?

It's a sad, sad state of affairs if ALL you've done in a day is have Facebook open on your desktop.

So...I've ventured out of my shell today...here I am...

I hope you've all been as well as you can be. Please, drop me a comment, let me know how you've been. And if you blog, I'll be catching up on what you've written...
