Goodness I've been out of sorts lately. Life seems to be comming at me much faster than I can take it in. The school, the job, the family all add up to super frustration. I try to remind myself to do what I can and feel good about it, but I always find myself biting off more than I can chew and feeling guilty.
I'm still reading "Eat, Pray, Love" and I think the book has a lot to do with my current mood. When I first started reading it, I was frustrated with what I considered a melodramatic tone, but the more I read, the more I connect. Not that I want to change the entire course of my life, but her search for the spiritual is gnawing at me night and day. It seems as though I am once again caught up in all the "small stuff".
Recently I've been annoyed by everyone and everything that doesn't feel genuine. What I've come to understand is that they have only been reflecting me. I have not been true to myself. I fill my days with dishes and laundry and don't allow myself to listen to what my heart is saying. I've been neglecting me and that is never a good thing. And so I am going to begin taking the first 15 minutes of every day to center myself and listen to the pulse of my heart. It's a small step back to where I should be.
And Help Him Comfort
from Love Poems From God
God has
a special interest in women
for they can lift this world to their breast
and help him
comfort.
I will begin by comforting myself.

I think that maybe those restless (irritable)days help us to re-center ourselves,at least they let us know something is off and we need to at least exam it.
Great post Sandra. I've been reading (listening to) eat, pray, love too and I need to get back to it and finish it. Thanks for the reminder and the beautiful poem.
