I try to listen to my funk, but not wallow in it - does that make sense? I woke up this morning feeling pretty fantastic, so blue's lifting and maybe some purple's pushing in? :)<br /><br />Love you!<br />xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8650573471512437484.post-25895327259587135252011-12-30T06:15:40.555+13:002011-12-30T06:15:40.555+13:00Sorry to hear that you are in a blue funk.

I love this quote, "As long as we're caught up in always looking for certainty and happiness, rather than honoring the taste and smell and quality of exactly what is happening, as long as we're always running from discomfort, we're going to be caught in a cycle of unhappiness and discomfort, and we will feel weaker and weaker. This way of seeing helps us develop inner strength. And what's especially encouraging is the view that inner strength is available to us at just the moment when we think that we've hit the bottom, when things are at their worst." (from Pema Chodran's Practicing Peace in Time of War)<br /><br />Listen to what your blue funk is telling you and be okay with that state and part of who you are because in the end you are more purple funky than blue funk! :)Faizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06674592471132332128noreply@blogger.com
