happy-not-lucky?

It's hard to know what to do because your natural rhythm may be disrupted by something that is totally out of your control. Fortunately, your positive attitude can help, but you'll need to be willing to settle on less comfort than you prefer normally. Keep in mind that whatever happens today is part of a larger shift that can take months to process.

So I know it's hard to care about someone else's horoscope (I'm a Cancer, in case you are too and can enjoy yours for the day), but I wanted to remember this one because it is bang bang bang on.... save for the fact that I don't know what happened today that's going to take months to process. Maybe I don't want to.

But I do know that I woke up disappointed today. And I was trying to regain my energy and I know it's up to me and only me to do this... so I went for a run. But instead of enjoying all the endorphins, I suffered burning ears from the cold. And then I went for a facial for full relaxation, and now my skin's reacting to the treatment. But THEN I had a really amazing dinner and, well, there was no bad reaction to that (except my tummy is sooo full of goodness).

Anyways, I'm sitting in this place where I'm not sure if I should keep trying trying trying and deal with the mood-altering consequences, or if it's easier to just sit back, relax and secretly hope it all works out.

Endorphins really do make you happy

The worst part about last night was waking up this morning. That's when I felt the not-so-pleasant effects of mixing wine, champagne, cupcakes and dancing.

So after a catch-up brunch with my belle amie and a solo stroll through the city, I decided to punish myself for last night's indulgence. I found some shorts, a T-shirt and my terribly old-school runners and spent 30 minutes doing the run/walk blend. You should know that this is a really big deal because running is really hard. For me. Maybe not for you and that's totally cool. In that case, I'm proud of you. Maybe you could be my coach.

But do you know what happened after my run? I felt better than when the alcohol and sugar were fresh in my system. Nice, eh? And then I decided to create a blog to remember that these little endorphin guys won't let me down. Oh, and my friends won't let me down either. The title of my blog is a text shout-out to one of my nearest and dearest. But I love them all equally. Cross my heart.

hello and xo.
