A Quiet Place

Low

Though I’m only human (yes, really!), I hate to admit that today I feel a little bit depressed. Perhaps because of the grey, wet weather; perhaps because I have a cold; perhaps because I’m reading a novel set during WW2, The Book Thief by Markus Zusak; perhaps because my adrenaline levels are lowering back to normal after an intensely dramatic episode. Who knows?

What I do know is that life could be much worse. I’m not dead or dying. I’m not in pain. My apartment is warm and safe and comfortable. I can pay my bills. There is food in the fridge. I am free to go where I want and do as I please. I am lucky.

Wow… I feel so much better! :)
