Good work on not feeding the funkiness. LOL. I'm dragging today as well but I don't have any excuse. Except that I've been going to bed too late. It's all on me. I'm not feeling kindness either. But I feel better when you admit you're not feeling it either. Not that I wish that on you. But you know what I'm saying. (I hope.) I guess I mean, Thanks for being honest.

Beets ... I do know what you mean. I don't always 'feel it' ... and I'm feeling downright 'b****y" ... LOL!! Not that it is really funny ... I don't like feeling this way. I am also feeling teary which is really a clue to me that it is hormonal. Sort of PMSy ... except I don't have PMS anymore!! So we are both challenged today to really practice what we don't feel. That where the petal hits the metal ... it is easy to be kind to ourselves and others when we are feeling good ... not so easy on days like these.

Very good point. On that note, I'm signing off. And going to work hard to try to feel it in the little things.

Regarding the first paragraph, it just sounds like a mood. It should change for the better with any positive thing that happens to you. :-) Have a great day buddy!

Lately I seem to have the kindness to myself thing down pat... but kindness to others (especially obnoxious, annoying, ever present coworkers) is seriously lacking. I could blame hormones, but it's the wrong time for that. I'm blaming being overworked and not sleeping enough. Oh, and needing a new job! It sounds like your job was stressful yesterday. That could have something to do with the funk. Exercise usually brings me out of whatever mood I'm in. It actually works! Unlike feeding the emotions with food- which is actually counter-productive in that then you get to feel guilty on top of whatever else you're feeling! So good job not doing that since it doesn't work anyway :) Make it through today and hopefully tomorrow will be brighter!

Great job not feeding your emotions!

Kate ... exercise generally helps me too ... just think how cranky I'd be if I had skipped that!! LOL!! I am NOT really beating up on myself ... and I think it is just a passing mood (as Info so accurately identified!). A new job sounds exciting ... is that in the future for you???

One can only hope! There are still really good things about my job, but the balance of good to bad has been steadily shifting over the years. I would like a change, but I'm trying to stick it out 6 more months so I can have my "5 years experience" and my 401K fully vested. But if the perfect thing came along, especially if it would get me out of Arizona and into California, I'd take it!

Cheer up Carol. That is how I was feeling yesterday but I am bright and chipper today and ready to take on the world! lol I am thinking very seriously about all the dares I am getting lately and am almost ready to take the plunge. What do I have to lose??? Nothing you are right and I could have something to gain. Either way looking forward to having some fun during my time off. Just hope I don't lose my nerve. lol

Hey MOOOOOOOSE! I'm sorry to find you in this funk. I noticed your chart and that up fluct is telling me those foods left those negative vibes I hate so much. It may also be hormones and the weather or just a plain funky day. Can you do something that thrills you, a movie, a pedi, a karaoke bar! idk, this day shall pass.... they always do. xo

Funk...I'm talking to me while talking with you about the subject of Funk:) I suppose living wouldn't be living without the ups and downs. Wondering if it is possible to always feel joy? As I strive to be a "real girl", this is the hardest lesson of them all as I do not want to medicate with drugs, alchohol or food anymore when these feelings come up. I don't want to mask me anymore. I am dealing with the feelings by writing, sharing my journals and changing my perspective. I am learning not to sweat the small stuff, and to live life to it's fullest. I had a dream last night that was pretty darn nice. All my buddies and some of my family members were at a very old but large institute of learning that was made of brick. We were part of something that was much larger then you could ever imagine. Not to far from my waking life. May you find what is deep down bothering you, deal with it and feel peace. You have the right to feel funky! Play some funky music, and this too will pass:) TOWANDA!!

Funks stink! Fortunately they pass. Some days I feel mad at the world, all the stupid drivers, all the ignorant people I work with and all the totally dumb things people do. I go home, bitch about all of it to my husband and we sit a collaborate on who saw the dumbest people that day. Then I feel better, got it all off my chest. Hormonal change or imbalance, whatever it is, I'm sure you will be chipper in no time. Stressful jobs do not help at all. We need to win the lottery and tell them all to take a hike. Did I help? ~ LOL. Just wanted to make you chuckle. Hope you are doing better Moose. It will pass, we know that. Have a good evening OK? Maybe a hot bath and a nice Margarita would help :-)

Glad to hear you are working through the funky feeling - sometimes it could just be the weather!
