Many things in my life are frightfully scary right now, which is ever so fitting for this halloween season.
a.) my house, leftover from my halloween party on friday night
b.) returning to work in a few short weeks
c.) new motherhood (in general)
d.) my roots. I need my highlights redone
My halloween festivities from friday were a lot of fun! However, I really need to get a move on, picking up the remnants. Returning to work I'd rather not talk about. Motherhood you're probably tired of hearing me talk about and my roots, well, they are just another story.
This is normally my most favorite time of year. But to be honest, I am feeling a little down. I have a touch of postpartum depression and for some reason I just cant get excited about halloween/samhain. I have my house decorated, I take walks to see everyone else's decorations, I have a sweet, happy and healthy baby girl, my husband and I have many blessings to be thankful for, but I still feel sort of "hmph". And I am a little embarrassed that I feel this way when I have so much to be thankful for during the happiest time of the year.
hopefully I will feel like my old self soon.
'I want to get back into meditations and yoga, because I think this may ground me a little and help me out of my slump. Perhaps a little time in front of my alter, or out with mother moon would do me some good.
take care friends

Bahahaha, your roots? You are crackin me up :)I feel you on the mental down-ness... It has been a weird year. I am so thankful, but yet... I don't know, can't put my finger on it. I, too, am getting back into yoga and meditation (just ordered a set of awesome dvd's online so I don't have to force myself to spend the money on classes) so I can just... center myself. Keep your head up, it will get better, just have to get into the swing of things and before you know it you will be back to yourself. xo
