Yesterday I was in a funk. Big funk. I was tired and weary. I spent most of the day chiding myself for feeling that way and yet, I could not get out of it.
Finally, late last night I went to my blog. I figured that I could possibly write, but knew that if I attempted anything , it would come out wrong.
I have a dear friend who, when we are in that frame of mind, say to one another, “Step away from the computer”. We have both, on several occasions go online and written something that we regret as soon as we hit the enter key. I did not want to make that mistake yesterday.
The next best thing is to read. So, I went to my reader section on my blog and got caught up with others in the blogging community.
I am grateful for being able to read other blogs. It does help me. I read blogs from all over and it gives me a glimpse into lives of others. Soon, the focus goes off of me and onto others. That is a good thing.
This morning I have had the pleasure to chat with two of the bloggers I read. One is in London and the other New York City. These women bless me so very much, and I am grateful for them. They encourage me to break out of my funk just by their words and their conversations.
It does help to refocus your thoughts. I can have a tendency to withdraw and just keep myself alone. We are people who need to be with other people, we need to touch lives and allow ourselves to be touched.
What helps you to get out of funk? I would love to hear from you. Thanks for stopping by. Cathi (DAF)

A tough question Cathi. Life presents us with challenges as we mosey along, some we can deal with but every now & again, it feels like the shit just keeps coming, thus falling into that funk.
I think it’s okay to allow ourselves a wee bit of a pity party, just some time to acknowledge & digest what we are feeling & why. In doing so, we often find the strength to move forward & focus on the more positive things in our life.
Wine & chocolate help too!
My blogging really helps me too because writing is an escape. And reading other’s blogs inspires me.
Love you!
you inspire me Beth, all the time in so many ways. Love you niece!
This is such good advice Cathi!
so glad you liked this post, Life. It is always a joy to hear from you.
I just now saw your comment, you are so right, time does help, along with the wine and chocolate. Thank you for stopping by, I always love hearing from you.
