A shrink I had many years ago told me I self-medicated by eating enormous amounts of peas.
I don't know if she was referring to all the sugar or if peas have some other magical happiness-boosting component. I can say that squatting and picking peas for hours this morning under the big sky felt great, and that I did consume at least a pound between the time spent picking and the trip home.
I gave myself a haircut this morning, too, which
also makes me happy. When people cut their own hair in movies they're usually experiencing a break. Think Jodie Foster in
The Accused or Julia Roberts in
Steel Magnolias. Actually, didn't that gorgeous actress playing crazy in
Betty Blue chop her hair, too? Since I cut my own hair often, I'd like to think that my chops are not the result of trauma, instead, just plain cathartic. To me, it feels much like tidying up the kitchen. Clean, fresh, ready for anything.
