Dear feelings

Today, you are not friends. Today you are overwhelming and I don't know how to make you comfortable. I don't know how to make us both comfortable together. So I made tea and read. I tried to remember that I am who I am, overwhelming feelings and all. And in the discomfort decided to try something new. I made homemade whip cream.

It didn't quite turn out, but it tasted wonderful all the same.

The tea in it's delicate teacup, the partially whipped cream drenching blueberries, my overwhelmed feelings and I had breakfast.

Maybe not so uncomfortable after all. And I did one new thing today.

So long story short, feelings, while you caused a rush of emotion today, you brought in with your tide a decision to try and do one new thing each day and to remember that it never ever works when I try for everyone else and forget me.

I am me and you are mine. We will work it out.
