Today had it's ups and downs. I got to visit Sarlat and see much of the outdoor market. It went on for several blocks and I don't think we were able to see all of it in the 2 hours we spent wandering. Afterward, we came back for lunch, and then went to Domme and met a friend of one of the two other workaways. We were invited onto her porch for some tea and played with her dog during a pleasant conversation. Then we went to the top of Domme where the overlook is and bought some ice cream.
The hard part of the day was that there was a fair amount of emotional release which is always good even though we never want to go through it. Hormones finally got the better of me and I got wound up by something small. I went for a brief run and then walked a bit with the journal in hand to finish writing it all out. There is always more to let go of and I've been working on healing the emotional wounds inflicted by my biological parents. Of course it was always one step forward, two or three steps back. Even though my adoptive parents gave me the building blocks to build positive self-esteem, my classmates often tore my efforts apart by excluding me and using the commonly used saying "Life isn't fair" as an excuse. Anyway, enough negativity for one day, time for bed.
