Animal Wednesday on Thursday: When You're Sad...

Hello everyone, it's me, Emily. I am a day late just because. This week kj is very very sad because her friend Renee has had some very very sad news about her nephew Sheldon. So I am not going to be a wise guy rabbit this week. Instead I am going to tell you what I do when I am very very sad, not counting throwing myself on the floor, whining and crying, and kicking my feet all over the place.

.

First, I sit in a cozy chair. This is Mr. Ryan's chair but I use it when I want to.

.

If I don't use Mr. Ryan's chair, I might just sit anywhere, taking my time and not letting any thing disturb me. Believe it or not, I learned this from kj. In the morning she sits on the couch and breathes for about three minutes. She looks silly but it makes her more relaxed and when I tried it it did that for me too.

.

This one is hard but it is worth it. Stand on your hands. You will see everything differently, plus your head gets all different too. Don't try it if you think you will fall over, unless you don't care.

.

And the last thing I recommend today is to grab on to someone you like and hold on tight like a lobster. Even I, little Emily who doesn't care what anyone else thinks, knows that sometimes you just have to lean on love....

.

This is from kj: Dearest Renee, collective hearts ache for you and your family. You have been given a burden most of us could never carry, and yet you carry it, and the people who love you near and far, with love and grace. If prayers could heal instantly, you, Sheldon, and Jacquie would be rolling down hills today and feasting on all the sweet life and love that surrounds you.

.

This is from Emily: Sometimes I know when to be nice.

.

Yours Truly,

Emily Rabbit
