So this is me... the mother of one(so far!) and wife to an extremely tolerant husband. Working mom. I'm happy, most of the time. Everyone has lows now and then, right? Life is grand. I guess what I'm trying to achieve here is a day-by-day look into the mind of a modern-day hippie. That's me! :)
I work, I play, I yell, I gripe, I laugh, I joke, I smile, I cry (not often!), I love, I hate, I walk, I run, Sometimes I even skip but most importantly I live. Just like everyone else, I live. I live to enjoy the life I've been given and also chosen. (I am a firm believer that life is as much of what you make of it as it is what you've been dealt.) What's the sense in being completely miserable all the time? Ha! I can't lie, I have been completely miserable before. We have all loved and lost and been mistreated and misused before. These things tend to make us humans a tad emotional/unbearable at times. What of it, though? You can't live your life like that all the time, so I give myself a day or two to moan, or minute or two, depending on the situation then suck it up and get over it. I think everyone should try that once and see how it feels. Give yourself a limit to get over something that upset you and don't let yourself go beyond that point. Go back to it later if it's something that needs more thought or approach. Try it. Then tell me how it went for you.
I will make no assumptions or guess as to what will happen because everyone needs to experience this themselves. So go ahead, do it! Deal with the pain/anger, let it flow then suck it up and get on with life. PUT A SMILE ON!!!
xO, Stefi
