I am on my 2 week break from college.I have been waiting on this break and looking forward to enjoying some summer weather.It has been pouring rain,very cloudy and dreary.Forecast is rain,lots of it,for the whole 2 weeks.Sigh!I am just feeling grumpy today,I still have a lot of work to do on my house,it seems like it is taking forever.I don't like to be grumpy,but sometimes I just am.I went through bad weather on my spring break,too.I think I am struggling with the blues again.I don't like that part of me,the part that just starts spiraling down.Looks like I have more work to do on myself.I have been looking at that 4th step and thinking it may be time,it seems pretty intimidating but,I really need to get on with the steps ,especially to get to my character defects,some of the things that hold me back.I guess if I am writing about it,I really need to do it.
Happy for you and your break from school - and understand the rainy day blahs....
I seem to be more uplifted on clear days rather than the cloudy ones and we've had rain/clouds almost every day - so it seems.
I too was intimidated by Step 4, and my sponsor was a gift for helping me with it and getting me to it and it was worth it. The end result far out-weighs the action and it wasn't nearly as bad as I had projected it would be.
You can do it - and you are worth it.
Have a great day and enjoy your break from school!
