Sadness

As the sadness creeps into my awareness I find myself blaming myself for why I had allowed this stress to get to me.

I really am under a great deal of stress I realize.  I've been so valiant about my efforts to overcome my depression with exercise and eating well.  

This time it is not depression!  When I realize it is true sadness, my body realizes that and I find a glimmer of light in the fact that I am not depressed!  Sadness is natural.  Best time to be gentle with myself and find no blame.  Knowing it will pass allows me to sit with it and it gives me the chance to be strong even in my sadness.

I look forward to tomorrow with another NEW day!  For now, I will play gentle music and enjoy my surroundings in a different light.

Even in the midst of my sadness.
