Midsummer

I didn't do anything particular to celebrate the Solstice, except for going for a nice long walk around Gates Pond to chill out amongst the trees and birds. I hadn't slept very well the night before, due to a combination of a rumbly tummy (was it something I ate? Maybe) and anxiety rearing its ugly head once again. Walking in the woods always makes me feel better about things.

A few of us gathered last night to share food and drink and music, and it was a balm for my soul. Friends always help, too.

Today, I was up much too early, but things looked a little clearer, and possible solutions to troubles presented themselves. Anxiety has been beaten back with a whip and a chair, and is now grumbling in the corner.

I can do this.
