It comes in many forms. I was able to get back to work yesterday and I have to admit the act of being busy definitely does some good things for the soul. It can distract the mind and fill the purpose of my actions a bit which is always a good thing. And the more obvious benefit is the exposure to good people and the social benefits of human interaction in general. I am lucky to have good friends to bring me into such good situations.
Catharsis can also come in the form of laziness and relaxation, I think, despite the typically un-valuable effects of such behavior. I really do think that letting the stress of importance take a break, self-imposed or otherwise imbued by responsibility, one can at least start to find a calmer center in life again. Seeing a small piece of life's rewards can be invigorating and rewarding in its own way.
Tomorrow is a new day. I am lucky for it. The beginning of a new life if I make that sort of choice. The question will always be... am I ready for it?
