How different a new day can be. Unfortunately the day didn't end in the positive way it had begun and that tension seems to have carried over to today. I just seem to keep letting stupid little things get to me and then I get wound up.

And that's what I've been trying to do as the day has progressed. I've kept myself busy with work and its nice to actually have things to do after the last couple of weeks. Have to say I was really starting to struggle. I'm wondering if that's what was causing my headaches as certainly hasn't been as bad over the last couple of days, so wondering if I was stressing about the lack of work and motivation without realising. I hope so and that things now start to improve in my mind. Taking some time out to just sit and be at one with myself has also helped, to clear and calm things.
Despite the funny mood first thing this morning, I did manage to start a poem! I'm not sure where it will go next (only 1 verse done so far) but it felt good to start something new, I haven't done that for a while. I've come to the conclusion that there is never a right time to sit and write, you have to fit in where you can, and when the mood and inspiration takes you (if like me, the rest of the time is taken up with the reality of the every day). And that's not necessarily when its right for you (lunchtime for me, when I can put time aside). But on the other hand, I want to make sure that it isn't the case where I don't have any time at all to be creative and separate myself from the every day.

I may have started the day feeling negative, but I hope to end it feeling much more positive and ready for whatever is thrown at me. Amazing what a bit of focus and fresh air can do (and maybe a cup of coffee)!
