I know you’re tired of hearing it- stay positive; blah-blah, because sometimes things just aren’t okay! Sometimes things actually kind-a suck…no wait… no ‘kind-a’ about it-they do suck. Suckyness at it’s fullness as a matter of fact, hmmmm….suckyness…pretty sure that isn’t a word, spell-check is telling me it’s not ~smiles~
Isn’t it funny though that in the big moments of sadness, tragedy, worry and general chaos that a small moment, a tiny flicker of light is what we grab unto with both hands, pull it in and cradle it to our chests and hold it next to our heartbeat?
The warmth, the energy, that crazy, wacky, wonderful thing called hope, and suddenly we remember that this old world of ours is giving us a hug. A flicker- it’s all it takes to kindle hope.
All of us have our own inner demons, and here’s the facts, none of us, and I mean no one, have it all together- all the time. There is a saying that goes “Embrace the glorious mess that you are,” so yep- that’s my way of saying “stay positive!”
Trust me when I say that I get it-it’s not easy, sometimes you feel you’re taking in water like a fire hose being pointed directly at your face…or should I say heart….but you know what? It’s okay to mope and whine, and sit in your moment of suckyness…..just watch for the tiny flicker, and hold it next to your heartbeat.
Sending love on the wings of the wind,
