Melancholic Muse

Having been signed off for a week by the old Doc I have kind of moped about a bit getting in the way and upsetting Lisa’s routine. I have been known to be a little spontaneous so this quite possibly wont be the last time routines go out the window, or why not have complete randomness as a matter of routine? I did say to work I would be back in Thursday but was told to ride out my sicknote in case anything happened to me, is that anything to do with Health and Safety or are they just being nice? Whatever the reasons I’m back tomorrow without a doubt.
What’s the matter with me? Essentially nothing, except I’m struggling with certain areas, my diet for one which is a downward spiral, I need to be on top of that to be able to organise it, do you see the potential for failure there? If I eat a regular diet my mood differs, I become a little glum and melancholy and see life as drudgery specifically in areas of responsibilty, I certainly lose my vitality. So I’ve needed the time to get back on top of things which seems to have been worthwhile, all I need to do now is sort out the people at work.

Melancholy: Despite having a negative connotation, melancholy can be viewed as a gift. Instead of being viewed as a trait of the depressed and unfortunate, melancholy can also be seen as a trait of philosophers, prophets, artists, poets, and heroes. Melancholy is a window into ourselves. It allows us to think, ponder, reflect, imagine. If you are able to embrace this phase rather than being swallowed by it, find peace in the momentary pause and look for the gifts left to you by introspection and sensitivity. – Bridgette Guerzon Mills
