I'm seeing some improvement...

bloodsong1Monday was all kinds of awful for me, mostly due to the migraine that settled in about 10:30 am and would NOT go away. I ended up in my room with the lavender eye mask on my face for about two hours while the kiddos entertained themselves. Needless to say, I went to bed early.
Got up this morning at 5:55 am (WTBH, body, really?!?) with twinges and decided to take a different approach.
I spent about half an hour in the Embodiment pose (feet propped on sofa, thighs parallel to sofa body, rest of self on cushions on the floor with a blanket for warmth) listening to that wonderful MC Yogi album "Elephant Power" and meditating. Shiva took my face in his hands and said if I wanted to work with them, I need to know them. I've asked Zahde if I can borrow the appropriate books from her.
I finished that Self-Renewal session with some yoga poses and stretches. IDK came down as I was making barley tea. I felt very relaxed and serene and asked he keep the television volume down.
As I had plenty of time to get ready, I prettied myself up with make up and earrings before taking the kiddos to Mama A's and from there to the dealership so Ripley could get serviced. I also got an estimate on repairing the key strokes down the driver's side (about $1100, will have to talk to insurance) and the IPod cord replaced under warranty. *happy dance*
I felt so good I stopped at Lone Maple Farm for tomatoes and blueberries and cinnamon bread so I could make a grilled cheese and tomato sandwich for lunch. I then broke out the Cross Stitch O'Doom and managed to get some done without feeling the need to tear out my hair.
I suspect the reason Monday was so awful was two-fold. One, Wolf's birthday (I need to order that cake) and two, barometric pressure changes. It rained last night and I can hear the thunderstorms building again to the north. I've been susceptible to thunderstorms since I was about 22. It's now the first thing I check if I know I haven't been triggered by scents.
It's hard to describe how NICE it is to be feeling attractive and wholesome and serene and overall pleased with myself. I fed my Soul today and it was Good.
The hardest part is remembering to do this more then once every few months.
