Well..this has been a good day.
I have been in depression for while now. I just can't seem to break it. But there are good days too. Lately I have been feeling the worse end of it. The almost hopeless end (fortuantely I don't get outright hopeless anymore..those are dangerous for me) was upon me lately and Iknew I needed to do something about it or it would just get worse.
On Sunday I stopped by a friends house and while I was there another mutual friend popped in as well. We got to talking and he told me about these yoga and Tai Chi classes he was going to at a place not very far from my home. Mind you - I have taken yoga before but stopped due to the distance from my home as well as expenses at that time. I got the times from my friend (Tues & Thurs) and told him I would see him there.
Well, I was getting ready tonight to go..and the funnie thing was about a half hour before I was going to leave we got this incredible thunder & lightening storm. Now I love storms but I don't like to drive in them but I said screw it I am going to go anyway..so I went down to the place where I found out that it was Tai Chi night not yoga night...I figured what the hey....why not..I have always wanted to try it.
Anyway......It was just what I needed. I never realized how much I missed those kinds of classes and just how beneficial they are for my mental well-being.
And to top it off....I'm going to a moon ceremony this Sat as well. For those who aren't familiar with those - It is a Native American Indian ceremony...all about healing and energy and forgiveness. I went to one back in March and it was the most amazing thing. You get smudged with burning Sage and also get to push your negativity into the Tabacco and then burn it away.
I always find it funnie that when there it something missing from my life...it WILL find its way too me.
Just wanted to share that with you all....
Namaste
