Nothing Extraordinary Happened Yet…
Author: siggyNothing extraordinary happened yet a series of events followed. And they all mattered. I was depressed. I did not know why but I got my body moving and focused on things outside of me.
I did mundane things like feeding our dogs and cats and filling their water bowls. I stepped out of the house briefly and realized it was an absolutely gorgeous day in January–forty-four degrees and I wanted to spend part of the day outside.
I scattered sunflower seed and regular bird seed on the ground. I filled one bird feeder with sunflower seed. I know I will stare out my living window and watch the antics of the birds during the day.
I did other tasks like taking out the trash. The discovery of my new mittens which I had misplaced brought a smile to my face. I reminded myself we had dinner in the refrigerator. I made a pot roast last night and there was still plenty left over.
I was still depressed but I was physically moving which was a good thing. Sometimes you just don’t know exactly why you are depressed but I know it will end. I did not give in to it. That was the important thing. I don’t always understand my moods.
