Post-vacation Blues

I always have post-vacation blues. I wish I didn't but I do. I wait them out and they go away while I'm doing my regular "re-entry" stuff. The charms of my regular life re-surface and I'm back to feeling content with my regular life activities.

This vacation to Florida is no exception, though I'm feeling the blues a bit stronger right now.

I'm delighted to be back with my doggies - walking them every morning and afternoon is a great pleasure - I missed them a lot. While I was walking my dogs this morning, my internal voice was harsh, hateful, nasty and negative. I came back into the house upset and went right to my journal. "What's going on?" I wrote. "I don't want to do this or that anymore. I don't like this person or that one any more. I want to run away from this situation, and that one. What am I going to do?"

I'm so grateful that spirit often comes to me through my pen. And it did this time too. Here's what I wrote:

"I know what I don't want. But I don't know what I do want. That is my challenge; until I know, I will take it one moment at a time, one day at a time. I will Golden Key this situation." And so I am turning my mood over to God and doing my regular stuff. Those internal conversations continue but I pay less attention to them because I know God's in charge and I am fine.

I'm so grateful for all the spiritual principles I've learned. I don't have to experience the blues and have no resources for handling them. All is well.

P.S. Spring is coming; the crocus are blooming in my yard.
