reminder to myself

It is perfectly okay to not feel the same every day!

[Note: This is often particularly hard for me to remember in January and February, when it is dark and cold and I wake up and want to go back to sleep pretty much immediately. The high energy days of late summer and fall feel far away. And I wonder what happened, and if I did something wrong. People all around me are telling me excitedly about their resolutions and their exercise programs, and I’m sitting there all ‘I slept an extra hour and a half and then had six cookies for lunch.’]

Well, here’s my reminder to myself: it’s okay. This is what winter looks like sometimes. This is the low ebb of the cycle, and the perfect time for doing things like extra sleeping and cozy cat-patting time. Winter will pass and other things will seem like fun again.
