Feeling lots better today. I think it helps for me to concentrate on small scale things, if that makes sense. For instance: if I think about how much I used to love France and how shitty it is that one administrator's decision put me in this town and I could have been just as easily in a bigger, better place and so much happier....well all that thinking makes me upset and it all snowballs right into a pile of depression.

So I'm focusing small-scale. Not even thinking of the "what-ifs". Like I ate a really awesome lunch today at my favorite Thai/Vietnamese restaurant Tom Kha Gai is probably the most comforting soup in the world.

And then I did yoga AND meditation , two things which I previously did a lot of but then kind of fell out of the habit. I am using podcasts on Itunes to get back into meditation, taking it bit by bit. I just finished a 10 minute meditation and really held concentration for the first 5 minutes which I'm quite proud of. And I felt much more at peace after doing 30 minutes of yoga and this meditation.

Good things are happening, people. And I love that I have you guys (ladies) to share my ups and downs with.
