“There is a correlation between the severity of a person’s moods and a lack of self-knowledge.” Jill Alexander Essbaum
Little Dark Corner The mood of a moment is so fragile, like a cloud momentarily covering the sun, and everything changes in an instance, confusing the very heart of us with lingering uncertainties, that sense of something unresolved, something wrong, not right, the feeling of an accusing little dark corner tucked in the back of the mind, deservedly waiting to rain down on any joy. ©Paul Vincent Cannon

Oh yes, that’s me with the ‘little dark corner…’, a.k.a. my worry box, through which I rummage in the sleepless early hours.

Aha, the worry box we all have and need to clean out, it opens up at the most awkward moments, like those sleepless early hours. Thank you for sharing that Chris.
