My Sacred Life
Day 9

Last night I was restless. Not in the mood to read, or watch tv, or talk, or sleep. I should've hopped in the car and driven to the beach...but it never occurred to me.

I watched a bit of ER...and it brought back such horrid memories of living with my first ex-husband. He was an alcoholic...somewhat controlled as he'd've had to have been in order to function in the military. Prior to him joining the military, though, I can remember nights where he'd call me in a panic to tell me he didn't know where his car was. First time it happened, I thought it was stolen. Then I realized he'd gotten so drunk he didn't remember where he left his car...a good thing given how drunk he'd been at one bar or another.

So this morning, even though I got up late, I decided to take Wolf for a walk, clear my head and whatnot.

I saw this milkpod fluff and thought it looked rather angelic.

I felt much better when I got home :-)

A walk is wonderful for clearing your mind. Don't you hate when you watch something on TV that brings back bad memories like that? Clear out the bad junk and open yourself up to the good.

My hub can't watch ER either. Shows like that get him too tensed up. It is interesting how certain things can trigger old memories that we'd just as soon forget.
I do love the "angel pods" photo, however. It's very possible you have one looking out for you. ;)

I have always thought milkpods were magical. When I was younger, I used to take the fluff and stuff it between leaves to make fairy mattresses.

sometimes the smallest things can be comforting ...that picture is beautiful

hope youre feeling better and the bad memories have left you

Funny, I dreamt about my ex last night. It was a very sad dream.

I'm glad we've both moved on from crap in our lives, but I never watch harrowing TV shows or movies as I can't take the emotions they generate.

Hate it when the rubbish comes back - much prefer it to stay locked away.
Glad the walk made you feel better though. Saw this pic on flickr, it's a good'un.

Thank God he's the ex-husband. You have some real wisdom. May peace fill your life!

That is a beautiful picture!!!!!!!

I think you needed a little angel to tap you on the shoulder and remind you of where you are and how far you have come.....
