For whatever reason I’m feeling grateful today. It was a good day at Thrive with a good group discussion. I love group so much I don’t know how else to say it, but it’s not like that energetic kind of love. We have a feelings wheel in the group room that people can use to identify whatever emotions they are feeling. The negative emotions always seem too negative and the positive ones always sound too charged. At peace is the closest.

Or settled or stable. Arya and I planned to start to work on our research methods project that is due next week. Neither one of us were in a brain state to be understanding directions about things we don’t understand. So while we talked about it a little bit, it’s been pushed off until Sunday when our other group partner can join us for a group call. After today I’m down to just over ten hours that I need to complete.

I’ve been up since 3AM since I could not go back to sleep. I drove home from class last night and came away again with that feeling of being charged but also a feeling of longing. I’ve enjoyed these classes, the teachers, and students and will miss this.
