It was a tender day today. Felt mellow. I lost my cool. Not a good moment. Realise that I do need more sleep to get through the day with some peace.
I had thought that I will be frugal now but couldn't help but treat myself to a book tonight. Went off to Crossword on Linking Road, looked through those bright and colourful shelves, got my book, and returned. For a bit I even walked. Saw a rat running with a leaf in its mouth. There was such urgency in the way it was scurrying away. This too is life.
Here are all the things I am grateful for:
1. Papa is well.
2. A friend came over today. We had a good time.
3. Cook had made daal really well...nuce and spicy, the way I like it.
4. Am reading 'No Bad Parts' by Robert Shwartz. It's about healing from trauma through a method called Internal Family Systems. I did the first exercise in the book. It brought up a very old memory - one that I found slightly painful today. But distance makes a few things easy to bear.
5. Had an interesting conversation with my brother. That did make me a little sad. Sometimes I wonder about all the burdens we ascribe to ourselves. And give ourselves a life sentence. And when you work on your own emotional burn, you give so many others the permission to even simply look at their wounds... however far healing may be.
