Thirth of July Funk

This is a photo I took the morning of my 27th birthday. I had just moved back to Nashville a few weeks before, and I was struggling to find a location and the funding to open The Green Wagon. I had returned to a familiar place, but I had changed, and the city just didn't seem to fit me the same way anymore. Several close friends had moved away while I was in Arizona, so I was surrounded by locations and people I knew, but hadn't yet established a strong friendship with anyone in the general vicinity of Davidson County. I remember feeling pretty lonely that morning and pretty unsure of what my future was going to look like....a lot like this morning. Hmmmm. If I could jump into the photo, sit down at that table, there are so many things I wish I could tell this version of myself.

Last night I just sat through the uncomfortable loneliness. I thought I might wake up and feel better, but it is still there. I think I'm going to head over to a hot yoga class at Kali Yuga. The class I took on Friday was a restorative yoga class, and I loved it. I'm not the biggest fan of hot yoga, but I feel like I need to do something, and that is the class they are offering this morning, so maybe that is the class I need today. I'm okay letting myself feel sad and in a funk for part of a day. I think it is an important part of healing, but I'm not about to let this last multiple days. I'm going to go sweat it out!
