And Again...
Long to hear your voice
Yearn to hold you close
You make my heart smile.
Cheesy? Of course it is! But it's the kind of mood I'm in tonight, or this morning. I can't help it. I've got love on my mind...
I have browsed hundreds of blogs in recent weeks, Yvonne, and I can testify that very few people seem content with their lives. Unhappiness permeates the blogosphere.
In the est training I learned that happiness is vastly overrated. We shouldn't dwell on "finding happiness." When you "get" that happiness isn't the most important thing in life and stop searching for it, you become liberated and that alone gives you a sense of happiness.
On days when I'm feeling miserable (and there are many) I put my training to use. I acknowledge my pain, make it okay to be feeling it, impose a time limit on it, embrace it, own it, "force feed" it, "experience it out" and "vanish it."
It's all about staying in the driver's seat where you are in control and you run your brain instead of letting it run you.
@shady -i hear what you're saying. this particular post was inspired by a memory that keeps replaying in my mind. and i was feeling melancholy. anyway, i do get what you're saying and i totally agree!
israel - wine does the body goooood! lol but you're right, "the rest will get better" congrats again on your new job! hope you're kicking ass!!!

Start the evening with wine and the rest will get better. Sorry I have been absent this last week. I started my job and have been exhausted.
