Fastest Way Out Of A Funk
When I returned from Europe, I found myself in a funky funk. It wasn't one thing in particular: it was more of a Baptismal Re-entry by fire. Recognizing I was in a funky funk was the first step. Putting words to it was the second step: it helped "put the fire out". Gratitude was the last step. Let's play this one on repeat. Photo by Ryan Walton on Unsplash

Thank you. That really helped. At first I was grumpy and didn’t want to make someone laugh. But by the end I was smiling and then went and told someone I loved them. It really is the quickest way out of a funk. Blessings to you. 🙏
