An afternoon to be emotionally indulgent

It has been a little while since my last post, but all of a sudden I have this urged to "put pen to paper".   However I am going to be very upfront as this afternoon my mood is one that is emotionally indulgent so if this is not for you I understand if you don't wish to keep reading.

It has been 4 weeks since a most fantastic overseas holiday and during the time since there has been a birthday and many social engagements.  Also there has been the end to a low key late Summer romance.

When something adverse happens we often become reflective and it takes some time to shift this emotional tide.

                        

My mind has been wandering of late, reflecting on the past and both dreaming and being apprehensive about the future.  One should be excited about what the future may hold but the mind can take you to places of why me, is there something wrong with me, how come I am the single one, when is my "Diana Ross love song" moment going to happen etc etc etc.

Logically these are the wrong types of thoughts to be having but sometimes I feel that you should let your mind "run" with these thoughts - get them out of your "emotional system" so that when they are finally released you can look forward to planning the next stage(s) in your life.

I know you are all busting to know about the late Summer romance but some things are just best to be kept private, reflected on, having enjoyed "the moment" and hope for something more in the very close future.

A short entry this time but one that has allowed my mind to reflect, cleanse and start dreaming of the future.

Sometimes it is okay to just stand by yourself in the cold - the cold cannot last forever!
