Is it that I'm feeling unbalanced or just changing?

The other day I thought I was feeling unbalanced in some way. I found a book in a charity shop called Timeless Simplicity. It was just what I needed to read. Like most things everything about the book isn't perfect but it helped me to feel more balanced just reading about how I can change some things around here for me. There's definitely more though that I want to do for us as a family not just me. I know that I've realized over the last few months that our family doesn't do negative emotions very well. By that I mean we try to avoid them or stuff them down in some way to get back to the Joy as quickly as possible. I don't want to wallow in negative feelings but some wonderful people online have helped me to realize that all our emotions and feelings can be good things too. I think our society in general though teaches us that only the positive emotions are worth anything. The negative ones though can really help us to learn much more about ourselves and certainly trying not to deal with them isn't helpful. I can see that now. I know it starts with me and then things will just start to fall into place. When I post it's often someone else's post that inspired me in some way.
