So yesterday I had a really good depressed day. :) sometimes I realize that a good down day, a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day...is just what I need. Here I have been going along fairly happily in my simple life and whabo! I get a really low day, a day when everything just hurts and makes me more unhappy. I remember years ago when I had a therapist, he told me that everyone needs a down day. Once a month or so is probably sufficient. Since then, instead of leting a bad day ruin me or my week, or my life, I just think "yeah! this is a great bad day!" Sometimes you need a little of imbalance to lead a balanced life. Take the good and the bad. Accept the blessings as much as the trials. Embrace the ideas you love and the ones that you dont trust or like. Once I really accept the wonderful things in my life as well as accept the not so wonderful, or not-wonderful-at-all things in my life, I discover that I am a much happier person because it is all a part of living life to the fullest.
A full life doesn't mean having a beautiful house with a white picket fence, perfectly mowed yard and house kept, it doesn't mean all the dishes or done and I am doing everything by the storybook. A full life is full...it isn't only half full with all of the good things. It is full because it has good and bad, easy and hard, bare and fruitful. That is how it is full. My life is full because I have such great friends and family, and those are the chocolate chips to my cookie... and when things get hard sometimes all I need is a little big of chocolate to make it all better.
As always learning,
Patience
