When I am newly in love with someone, I am deliriously like a drug happy. But then reality always comes back and I fall back to earth. But those couple weeks where everything seems perfect is a nice feeling. But, true lasting happiness I find in more everyday things like getting a story finished, or when my son gives me a hug. It is less intense, but it means more and the contentedness seems to last longer. I guess it is more real, while the other is more fantastical but also more fleeting.
Sometimes I have to feel an intense happiness to appreciate it if I go into a low spot. I need something in the horizon to give me hope that I can get back to that place again. Often times I am pretty neutral, not happy or sad, kind of in the middle. And, that is okay. Not every moment of every day is memorable or worth a ton of feeling. But when I do feel something, I cherish it.
For all those feeling low right now, make sure you are taking vitamin D. Winter can be especially cruel for some with the lack of sunshine. Please, take care of yourselves. *hugs*
