I think it was Lucinda Basset's course, the Anxiety and Depression course, that said, just because a day doesn't start out that well, doesn't mean it has to end badly.
This morning around 10-11AM I had a little bit of a feeling that my heart was breaking a little. I felt trapped in my work, and my wife, someone with whom I invested everything, is now gone. I dreaded the thought of going home to an empty house, and sitting there with nothing to do other then read and clean.
So I decided instead of going straight home, I went to a yoga class and felt much better after that. I think I needed some exercise that would re-center myself. So that helped a great deal, and now I'm at home, in an empty house, but I have a different perspective on things.
Buddhism talks about Samsara (hell basically), and Nirvana (Heaven) being the exact same thing, it's just how you look at it. So I know a lot of us are seemingly going through tough times. But they don't have to be that tough if we take care of ourselves, and get a life.
I still haven't put my wedding ring back on, I felt somewhat odd today going about business without it. I guess I'll have to go put it back on tonight.
