Yes, sluggish. At the moment, It seems I am just waiting for life-changing things to happen (several of them, all at once, some potentially really good, some really bad), and waiting leads to intertia. I don't recommend it.On the other hand, a few weeks ago, I took up running, and seem to be sticking with it. It's fun, and seems to actually make a positive difference to my stress level. It also makes me aware of the woods behind my house, which I tend to neglect, but which shouldn't be neglected, especially in May (the most beautiful Danish month, bar none). I've started out slowly with the whole running thing, doing a run/walk program to build up to a 30-minute run, all in the woods. To while away the time while running, I think, ponder and muse. And listen to instructions on my iPod. On the days when it's rained (or when it's raining), I play some games. The first game is called running in the mud. It's fun, except for the doubling back when I reach a lake of water completely covering my path. The second though is my favorite. I fondly call it DON'T STEP ON THE SLUG! I love the slugs. Especially the bright orange ones, which could well be my second-favorite slug color of all time (well, as a third-generation native Bay Arean, my true slug love must be banana colored).
Yes, I know that this slug is clearly not in the woods. In the time it took to go and get my camera after my run, the word had spread and all the slugs had crawled away to hide. This slug on the pavement towards home clearly hadn't gotten the memo, and nicely posed for me.
So, that's my May so far. How about yours? What are you doing to relieve your stress and/or celebrate your lack thereof?
