Thanks Penny and SusanJ for the ideas. I do like painting, and I have a couple new sets of markers, and a new pad of drawing paper.. hmmm.
The sadness lump is still there this morning. Maybe it's psychological stuff. It seems like my friend's phonecall brought up feelings about my lifelong inability to form nurturing relationships with men, all the way back to dad of course. Quitting the job, breaking off the friendship with the ex-boyfriend, the recent disappointment with the male friend, plus some difficulty hiring help with my home repairs... suddenly some thoughts are coming up that I'll NEVER get support and love from males. I've failed. Picked wrong, or don't know how to get my needs met by them, or something. I think I'll do some journaling.
