🌹Joy Journey day 23 of 90🌹

Last night I was miserable - more than I have been recently. Things that I want, things I can't have at least not yet ... and so it goes ...

This morning, in my journaling, a lot more than usual came out on the page - all those things running around in my mind found a lovely place to sit outside of it. I am grateful.

Today, when drawing, remembering my trip to Europe and especially the close together houses in Rovinj, etc. And thinking how (in the drawing) the rooftops sort of mimic the mountains ... which were in ??? ... getting the places mixed together in my head.

Two years ago, I did a 40-day "Creativity Journey" and about half way through (which is about where I'd be right now if I was going for 40 days again), I remember waking up in a good mood. In a good mood! I, who had struggled with depression and low mood for years and years (and clearly am not 100% free from that - it's OK, human and all) and could not remember the previous time I had woken up feeling positive ...

Not quite there today, but I know it is possible and even probable for the near future.
