Do you have things that just always put you in a good mood? I do. I have several. Ready?
Good music. This song makes me happy every time!! I can listen to it on repeat. Good coffee. (best when consumed first thing in the morning) Psych. Helping someone else. Being outside. Getting lost in a good book.Snuggling with my kitties.
We all have funks right? I mean, I know I get them. A LOT. But as I said in an earlier post that I published and had to delete for any number of reasons…I get to choose how long I stay in a funk. Any of those things I listed above usually can break down that gunky mess and allow the sunshine of the day to burst through. I’m not perfect, and I will never claim to be. I just know what I’ve learned, and that is, life is just too short to sit around and feel sorry for myself. By helping others I help myself. And I try to remember to start every morning with a thank you and a your will not mine to the big guy. Because my way didn’t work for a long time. And I never know what the day will bring if I let it go. I’ve found they’re better when I try not to control everything. Strange isn’t it? I’d always heard that saying, if you let go you’ll get more, or however it goes, but man I just pushed against that for years. It didn’t make sense to me. How how how?! I had my fingers so tightly wrapped around every particular aspect of my being, that I choked the life out of everything I cared about. I didn’t give myself the opportunity to listen when my God said, hey…you might be happier if you do this.
I quit living and simply existed.
Thankfully I’m 26, and I have my whole life ahead of me. Thankfully, I’ve got people around me who helped me figure it out. There’s still time, to do anything I want if I just keep focused on doing the next right thing. I’m so grateful that I am living today. I’m waking up, and realizing there are so many things I want to do!
Everything it its own time.
