i’ve not read much of my personal email, haven’t posted anything of substance, and haven’t really been *present* online, lately.  i haven’t journalled.  i haven’t meditated. and this morning, i was red & blotchy.

self diagnosis: i’m stressed.

even more evident is that i landed smack dab in the middle of a life lesson that i *thought* i had already learned.

… apparently not.

so, my turtle nature pulled me right back into my shell for my own protection & processing.

i try so hard to live up to my own ideal – when i don’t hit the mark, it’s seriously painful.
