I don't have real, true, down days very often. I have down moments, absolutely. Full days only happen now and then, and sometimes there is no direct reason for it.
Today seems like at least half the day will be a 'down day'. I could speculate and philosophize all the different reasons why today is the day I feel this way, or I could just accept it as the truth and allow myself to feel down.
So what does this mean?
This means a full box of Kraft Dinner followed by copious amounts of chocolate, all while watching chick flick after chick flick and allowing myself to tear up and sob and even burst out crying every time my body feels like it.
I am hoping it doesn't last all day, because I have a list of things I would like to get done today... But if it does.. Then oh well.
Allowing myself to have down days helps me stay cheerful, optimistic, and content for so many other days. It is impossible for ANYONE to only ever be happy. In fact I have an entire list of logical reasons not to be ... But I like being happy. So being sad for one every once in a while helps me to get it out of my system.
It helps when sad days happen on lazy Sundays with no plans, appointments, dates, or responsibilities. ;).
