now back to the diaryland entry already in progress�

still not feeling like myself today.
very shaky & on edge & don�t know what is going on. i�m wondering if the low-level stress that i�ve been under for years if finally catching up to me� like a sea slowly washing away the cliffs� & i�m finally starting to crumble. the major stress comes & goes & you can get through it because you know it will end soon. but this constant grind� no wonder i feel worn down, i am.

the trouble (outside of feeling like i�m slowly falling apart) is that there is no real fix to any of this. it is not like i can just make the stress go away, its not that simple. i need to find a way to reduce the affect it is having on me & that is where i get hung up. i am thinking of trying yoga again, but i get frustrated when i can�t do something & trying to get into some of the yoga poses when you are in the shape i am can be frustrating. i�ve tried the yoga tapes a few times, but i end up feeling like a linebacker in a ballet class.

i�ve started meditating again but it is slow going. it has been a long time since i meditated on a regular basis & you can�t just pick up where you left off with it, but i also think that it might be my best chance to get a handle on things. now that the warmer weather is here i�m thinking of setting up a meditation area in my yard where i can go just to relax. (besides, unlike yoga, meditation, does not require that i be able to touch my toes to my forehead.)

off to providence tonight to catch the slam. hoping a nice drive with the music playing & a warm cup of coffee will help calm me a bit. if not, at least it will get me out of the house for the night.

more tomorrow.
be well.
