Les Miserables

Am I the only aries who?s feeling emotionally "down" these days? Is it because of my aries sun or my pisces moon? Should I blame the planets or what?

Hi Turtle...so sorry to hear about you "emotionally down" period. The light for you will come back on..it always does. I bet maybe it is your moon. I am a Cappy Moon and for some reason, I have been feeling so darn good, so happy and I have no clue why! Doesn't really matter, I just am. Now, I will let you know that there was a period that seemed like most of my days were very sucky and I could not seem to get out of the muck. I grabbed a bag (a huge bag) of chocolate kisses and ate a few. This is my "happy candy"...it works. Try that and call me in the morning. 😉

Brighter days are a coming you my dear are in resting mode getting ready for the power days ahead. Enjoy the down time.

Love,
Freebird

I know how you feel. I am at home in St Louis, its the cold, the ice, the snow. In Iceland its the dark what do you get two hours day 22 night at this time of year. In the artic its all dark now the sun pops up for a few min in feb.freebird is right grab a few chocolate kisses. or watch the movie chocolate.

Hey, Turtle, I think it's hitting everyone these days....the christmas season is over...party, party time is over !!!.....and now the "in-between limbo" season is upon us...it's the new year...nobody is quite sure what is happening - is this new or hey has this happened before~!!...we are saying good-bye to the old, hello to the new!!...but what are we hello-ing new to??....good, bad, — Who knows!!! The weather doesn't help much either -, one day is mild , next is freezing, much like ourselves.....I bet you next month Feb. will be better for you...the spring will be here......we will start "springing" ourselves......so let's just take each day as it comes to us or doesn' come to us.....always rememer the phrase..."yesterday the day had me!..but today I have the day!!!!"

Be happy, be good Turtle.

Thank you all so much, you are wonderful people, your kind answers have already done wonders for my spirit.
I?ll try my best to enjoy my down time, the Sun busy down under, the bitter cold here just south of the Artic Circle, assured there are better times to come.
Freebird, do you give flying lessons?

Hi my warm~hearted Turtle....yes my friend, better times are coming, they always do. And yes I do give "flying lessons" want to go fly with me? Oh to just soar, let go and be free without a worry...complete freedom to be.

When are to free to fly?

Alana is right..for some reason so many people have been down ...loss of energy. Not sure why and I suppose we really do not need to waste the energy analyzing why. It just is. Isn't it hard sometimes to just accept, "just is?" We always want answers and explanations to everything. Learning to accept the "unknown" or the "mysteries" of life sure can be difficult for us. I know it has been for me. Think I finally got to a point of saying..."forget about it" I can't take it anymore..just let it be! PEACE arrives...yipee...okay, I am ramblin now. This is what those chocolate kisses will do to ya 😉

Stay warm Turtle...sounds like hibernation time...
Sending warm thoughts and lots of hugs to you my pal!

Yes, Freebird, flying as in soaring above as a free spirit without a worry. At the moment I?m grounded mentally, don?t even know why, usually my reasons for depression are very real and valid, but not now. Perhaps past sorrows are catching up on me. Well, there is only one way to go: UP!
Maybe it?s a good sign of my weird humour returning: when I see the "mind-movie" of the bird teaching the turtle how to fly. Just imagine!
Returning the hugs,
Turtle

PS. Second thought; returning hugs was meant to mean hug you back, not send them back as unwelcome. There are nuances of the E.language that I might not get right...

Hi there my favorite flying huggable Turtle! I was just flying though these parts here and was wondering how you have been feeling lately? I too can just imagine a bird attempting to teach the wise turtle how to fly...I wonder and ponder the thought. Perhaps the lovely Turtle grew beautiful magical mystical wings that took her far above the land so that her free spirit could soar to heights unknown.

Thanks for the awesome hugs you sent me. Sending you hugs....lots of them!

Thank you for asking, dear Freebird, but as I foretold things are on the upswing; the turtle isn?t depressed anymore, the turtle is too busy having the nastiest flu ever. It?s not possible to be "down" when one is forever sneezing and coughing. There just isn?t time to feel sorry for oneself - well, at least it?s a different kind of sorry.
When this last ordeal is over I definetely NEED to learn how to fly. So, please prepare your teaching schedule.
With very careful hugs, this damned thing is catching...
