When there is better than here

I've been through so many ups and downs and I've been trying to find ways to placate myself through the rough patches. The psalmist says, "I am worn out from sobbing. Every night tears drench my bed; my pillow is wet from weeping" in Psalm 6:6. It bothers me so much that I get overcome by these intense emotions. I often feel trapped in my body and trapped in my emotions and changes in mood. (Before you judge me or want to advise me, do some research on adrenal fatigue, or at the very least read my blog post 21st century stress syndrome Thanks!)

I am a person who loves my freedom. It is the cry of heart. To feel trapped, absolutely ruins me. I have to do something about it since it drives me bonkers.

A song from the Wizard of Oz came to mind the other day and I've found it really soothing and encouraging:

Somewhere over the rainbow

Way up high,

There's a land that I heard of

Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow

Skies are blue,

And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me

Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebird fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why, can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly

Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

I am reminded that though I feel trapped right now, there is a brighter future. I have hope. And I can also make time to dream. It will be good for my soul. I've even been inspired to overcome my fear of doing art and to push past my reservations. It may take some time. It might not. I really don't know what the future holds...

But in the meantime there are things I can be grateful for, today. 

One being the fulfilment of dreams of yesteryear! :)
