This really has me wondering, what soothes me? I can’t think of a food I reach for when I’m in need of some comfort. I also don’t reach for cigarettes or weed or booze. And it’s not that I’m bragging. Quite the opposite.
Something to latch onto might help ground me. But what?
I can’t say that I don’t get cravings because at times I do, but it’s for dark salted chocolate or coffee. So maybe that’s my comfort? They just don’t sound very “comfort” oriented though.
Reading quotes on Pinterest about how to think better, feel better and deep breathing really does help soothe my soul. I guess I have no oral fixation, I don’t know.
If there ever was a time when shoving some mashed potatoes and gravy or mac ‘n cheese or pizza down my throat seemed like a good idea, it would be now. I’m trying so hard to accept the summer we’ve been dealt and not resist it.
I was so cranky yesterday because it was too smoky to be outside, the air quality is extremely poor and I do take that seriously.
It’s just that we wait all year for these 2.5 months of nice weather to be outside and it sucks that we are in that place but have to be stuck indoors.
I need to put on my grateful hat and be happy that we haven’t been evacuated and that our city hasn’t succumbed to these awful fires that surround us.
