So, have you ever had one of those days when you wake up & the first thought you have is "EVERYTHING SUCKS"? Today is that day for me. It started at 4:30am when the dog woke me up, freaking out about the wind. I never went back to sleep & my attitude just got more crappy with every tick of the clock. Self pity took over & I began to think of all the things that are "wrong" with my life. Nobody understands, nobody cares, poor me, I feel so alone, blah, blah, blah, bullshit, bullshit, bullshit....
Then I slapped myself & said "get the f over it". Maybe it's true no one can quite understand what I am going through or feeling. But people in my life DO care & I am NOT alone. No one is ever alone. Sure, we may make the choice to be physically alone. But what we need to remember is that someone, somewhere, is holding you in their heart.
When I began thinking in this way all the things that are right with my life came in to focus: crazy, loving husband, amazing children, wonderful extended family. I have a home, food, & I am safe. I have clothes & shoes in my closet. Fabulous shoes. I have friends who accept me, eccentricities & all. Which brings me to my Sunday quote on a Friday Morning:
What I think we all need to remember is there is always someone in our life that needs to be held & that we can hold on to. Life doesn't suck. It's pretty damn good; even better when you share it with the people you hold on to.
