This morning when I woke up, I felt that a stone in the foundation of myself had shifted ever so slightly. I felt calm and clear-headed. It had been a little while.

So I went about reviving some posts from Sept / Oct / Nov, deleting or archiving posts I wrote in the last two weeks when I was in a highly emotional state (and presently find no value in revisiting), and cleaning up some posts that sounded just a little too mopey.

In times of distress, I have a bad habit of turning this place into a big pity party for myself. I am trying to temper this bad habit. For now I merely cleaned up the mess that was no one’s fault but my own and restored balance here, just as some degree of balance had been mysteriously restored unto me. Wow!

The Japanese poster for KIKI’S DELIVERY SERVICE famously says . . .

おちこんだりもしたけれど、
私はげんきです。

. . . which means, I’m pretty sure, something like

“I was kind of blue for a while, but I’m fine now.”

OK!!! Yeah. That’s fitting. I dig that.
