Certainly today can prolong itself, for though we are not still fully mobile, another week and a half to go, the weather outside is beautiful. Sun, a few rounded clouds, brightness and really the first warmth to be felt this year. There is heat in the sun when it hits you, though not really t-shirt weather yet, still glad I had a jumper and tonight will still be cool, but it’s warm and it feels good. Renewing the strength I had before, the drive I once felt and haven’t felt this long three or four or five weeks, I can’t remember.
For my mood has changed with my getting ready this morning in the orange glow of the sunrise. I feel on my way to being mended and can see the end of this drought, a return to some sort of normalcy and normality that we all crave and thrive upon. This is like endless summer, which is great for a week or two but organisation and a planned timetable works so much better for me and my life. Depression is linked to activity, it’s an obvious cure, yet so hard for the person suffering to notice. Being busy, doing stuff, keeping going and exhausting yourself is one of the world’s best medicines. Aware, awake, alive.
