Thank you for all the supportive comments. My best friend once told me that moods can be like weather whilst depression is the overall climate. Yesterday's mood was a freak thunderstorm with hailstones the size of marbles. There was no weather service warning or time to get into the cellar. As fast as it arrived, it passed.
I woke up today still feeling mild self-pity, but by evening I was sunny again. I'm not in the middle of climate change, only temporary bad weather. I don't know what gives me these self-hatred jags. I lose all compassion for myself.
It would be really hard to be miserable today. I travelled with some coworkers to a special event I helped promote to collect hair for Locks Of Love, an organization that collects hair for cancer patients' wigs. We were treated to an elegant lunch at a white tableclothed restaurant, driven around in a big ol' gas-guzzling Lexus SUV, and didn't have to do any work at all. I didn't have enough hair to donate to Locks Of Love, but I organized some coworkers who did. We had lots of fun laughing and joking on our field trip. I brought along The Book Of Questions, and we entertained ourselves with that on the road while we were stuck in traffic.
Not much time to write, but I wanted to let you know that today was a better day. I don't want you to worry.
Love and light,
your friend,
Mountain
Organizing a group of women to donate hair for Locks Of Love is such a wonderful and supportive way to spend your time. I bet those ladies all felt just great ...
