Why am i feeling better all of a sudden?

Is this a fluke? Could it be that I'm getting a new puppy next week (yay!) And I finally have my garden started? If so, im getting puppies and starting gardens every few months... Haha ok not really

And since most of us love animals, we will want details... breed, name, age, it's like people that have 400 pictures of our kids in our phone... but it's our fur kids... you sound so excited,,, and that is so refreshing to read.. And if grandpa taught you to garden, it will be a huge success.... happy for you, and to have something that is just yours.. that is so beautiful... lots of gentle hugs for having a great day !! Hope it continues and continues...and saved up hugs for the new furbaby !!

Thank you! He's an Australian Shepherd. As of right now he'll be named Beau. He's not ready to be given to us yet but will be next week :)
My grandpa and I were very very close. He meant the world to me. Fresh veggies from the garden are wonderful too.

I thought feeling good was bad. Or maybe I didn't deserve it. Or better to not feel good because what if you get feeling bad again? Maybe it's to much of a luxury? Then I learned to not allow myself to feel bad, in therapy. They kept telling me it was 'ok.' I believed it. All of a sudden I could do this. The little problem was, I did some things I used to think of as bad because they really were not that good for me. I just ignored it. So, I learned I had to be careful with feeling good. I had to learn how to handle it, to not give myself 'license.' It takes practice. Now, I'd like to do things not because I feel bad if I don't, (guilt and shame) but because I want to. Not there yet. I'm glad you feel good!

Honest to god, I get what you are saying. Not infrequently I think to myself 'where did it go?' And it concerns me. I mean, it came on so fast - and to just 'leave me'? It creeps me out. I suggest that you not dwell on it at all, but I feel what you are saying.

Puppies are awesome. The shit I can push myself through for the sake of my litter or one of my pups coming back for training or a holiday.

Aussie Sheps are lovely dogs. Have fun!!!

Gardening/foraging/yardening and loving animals helps ground me better than all of the professionals I've paid big bucks to through the years put together.

Must be something about the whole planting seeds, nurturing something to health, and the overall growth aspect of each that helps us feel as if there's actually something to look forward to for a change.

Although I don't own any animals, as that adds a whole new level of pressure, financial obligation, and stress that I'm not ready/willing/able to take on. I prefer to occasionally fur babysit my friends' pets and hang with the wild ones as they arrive on their own.

Regardless of the reasoning for feeling better, savor each and every moment you feel that way. Hopefully that momentum won't be so quick to stray.

I'm so happy for you! He will be a wonderful friend and gardening... I love it too. Seems like nature and animals always makes me feel good..people and life not so much. You will remember him through the gardening...I do something in memory of a dear friend long gone...every time I do it I smile inside and think of her. Its a good thing, not a sad one.

Yea for you!

Animal foster for your local humane society! LOL that's how I do it and on my schedule and I don't have to worry about the financial obligation.

Right now I am staring at an very old man...long white whiskers and loudly snoring away on my couch, LOL Funny how the critters can keep a person going.

Cheers, Whirlwind
