Solitude Solution

Thistles against our gray, rainy sky.

Today has been a very difficult day. I've managed not to use food to deal with the problems though, so that's a win. Instead of eating, I went for a walk and listened to Van Morrison's Moondance album. What I really wanted to do was sit behind my grandmother's barn like I used to when I was young and things were upsetting me. It was in the middle of nowhere and I didn't see other people at all. There is nothing that rejuvenates me like being alone in nature. Unfortunately there were other people on the path along the creek tonight. But getting outside even for a little while really did help. Then eating dinner with my family finished making everything all better.
