Where'd I put that Happy Place????

Okay, so it's been a while since I felt like exploring to find the ever elusive "happy place" (visual example: me sitting cross-legged on the floor, head in hands pleading to be taken to my "happy place"). I won't go into the long explanation of why I haven't much felt like searching but let's chalk it up to a major life changing event.

You know, the hardest thing about moving on from said "major life changing event" is realizing that everyone else still has their normal life, their happy place is right where they left it. Well, at least that's the way it seems. Logically I know that probably isn't quite the truth but emotionally I am a bit angry that things can't be the way they used to be. Yep, I know how selfish that sounds but that's just the way the old cookie crumbles...cookie? Where? I could really use a snack right now! Did I mention a side effect of total emotional upheaval seems to be something akin to ADHD? Or maybe I've had that all along...

So, under the circumstances how does one stay sane while finding a new normal? Yes, I know about therapy, meditation, exercise, alcohol (try to keep that one in check!), indulging in all the chocolate the body can handle in one sitting (see previous mention of snack to see where I stand on this) , Facebook addiction (Farmville anyone?), yadda, yadda, yadda! I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that really the only thing that helps is time. Crap. Guess that old saying is probably pretty accurate. May not "heal" all wounds but it certainly helps them scab over.I wonder if the size of the scar depends on how many times you pull the scab off? Hmmmm....

So, the first step for me in this new journey for my happy place is to put one foot in front of the other and take back some of the things that brought joy previously, like this blog! And so the journey begins (again). Looking forward to the adventure, well I'm trying to look forward to it. That counts right?
