lazy, rainy sunday in Pearl Mansion #305

it is strange how much (sometimes, most of the time) the weather can change the way we feel. waking up to the rain usually makes me feel extremely relaxed. not to mention makes me want to sleep longer--that or go to a coffee shop and read a great book. i've discovered something about myself this past year: i am a creature of cravings. i have maybe five or more cravings a day. i don't just crave food, or people, but rather things. like rollerskating, or swimming, or the feeling of laying my head down on a soft pillow. are these cravings normal? i guess they are for me.

of course i'm not always able to act on them, but it's nice to know exactly what you want right then and appreciate that you are no longer a child--in that a child would probably fuss and fight over satisfying the craving immediately. i am a woman now and i deal with these things in a mature manner--even if some of my cravings (i.e. rollerskating and cookies) may not be.

and now that the sun is coming out i will satisfy a craving by going running.
