There could be drama, but I found healthy ways to handle my angst. I gave my bathroom a thorough cleaning. I updated my photoblog. I made some calls. I clipped the cats' nails. I rescheduled hanging out with a friend who had to tend to an emergency at work. I intend to go out to the park for a ride in a little while.

I feel much better.

I always get thrown for a loop when uncomfortable feelings descend upon me. My first instinct is to run in circles and scream and shout, and not in the virtual way I sometimes joke about with my friends. But this time I hung onto my sanity, remained (somewhat) grounded in the midst of the emotional storm, and it passed. Just like the sun must set every day, so must emotional storms play themselves out, at some point. The question is how much damage will I do in the process of my emotions playing themselves out?

This time, the answer is, "None," and for that I am grateful.

Very pretty, very peaceful. It's so calming to look at the water.

I'm glad to read how you were able to ride out the storm without causing any damage :) Sometimes, it's a lot harder to remain somewhat calm and to focus your energy into doing undestructive things, but once you get into that groove, the bad feelings tend to dissipate.

You're right. The bathroom-cleaning did it for me; by the time I was through, I felt such a sense of accomplishment that I was pretty much back to normal.

Oh, I love this. I can feel the warmth on my face over here.
