pins and needles

I think there has been a subtle shift in the tone of my posts this past week and I think that it may partially be due to the fact that I had my first acupuncture appointment last Thursday.  I found out that my Insurance actually covers acupuncture and made my apt. right away since it is something I have wanted to try for a while.  I don't have pain or physical problems I was trying to be treated for, just anxiety and exhaustion.  My acupuncturist gave me a general treatment and some herbs to take home and try.  Please let me tell you, it was the best thing I could have ever done for myself.  I cried the entire time I was in treatment, not huffing crying, just like tears streaming down my cheeks, releasing, what. . . tension, hormones, stress?  Not sure, but when I left she said to me "You will find it much easier to be yourself now."  She was right.  and how timely.  Just when I NEEDED to be able to verbally express my feeling and emotions and let my true self out.  I had more energy than I knew what to do with this week as well. I can get pretty deep into this philosophically and discuss energetically what I think is going on, but my intention here is to just tell you that if you have been thinking about doing it, I strongly recommend that you do.

I have been receiving some very heartfelt comments recently and have been responding to many of them by email since I am away from my computer most of the day but have my phone to send emails all the time.  I can't leave comments very efficiently on my phone though, and anyone who has a Word Press or Tumbler blog account (MANY OF YOU), when you leave comments, your email address is not provided.  I have written so many people in reply to find that it was sent to Norplay-comment@blogger. somesuch.  It makes me so sad because I don't think any of you have received my letters!!  Please, if you have an account that is not in Google Blogger, leave your email address the next time you comment.  I have a few emails in my draft box waiting to be sent out for me to just go to your blogs and root out your email addresses!  Then when I am at your blogs I get side tracked reading and ooohing an aaaahing and totally forget to look for it until you comment again and I am like OH CRAP I need to get her email!

I know my outfit today is pretty similar to Monday's, same scarf and color palette at least, but I just found this scarf again in a drawer and have been wanting to wear it as much as I can!  The sweater is also a real favorite of mine, super warm, oversized dolman sleeves and the perfect length.  Also, I am going to list the brands of my clothes if they are not vintage in the labels line in case anyone is interested.  If they were from the thrift store I just don't say anything.  Hope that will help a little!
