Take time to appreciate the little things

January 19, 2010

I know that there are days that happen to each and everyone of us that can only be explained as “unbelievable!”, and I don’t mean that in a positive tone.

I have learned a couple of things in life though, regardless of how bad our day has been, if we can keep our minds and our emotions on a calm, balanced level, things that can be construde as “bad hair days” can actually turn around.  If we can take a bad moment, the kind of moment that happens when the only word that wants to come out of your mouth is “bleep *^$$&* bleep ^*%##% bleep” (use your imagination to fill in the jumble and bleeps!) stop yourself and try to evaluate the situation.  I try rating on a level from 1 to 10, 1 being a fabulous terrific day can’t get much better kind of day and 10 being the worst day you can imagine…sorry don’t want to go there for fear of the Law of Attraction taking over….lol.

If you can rate it below a 6, you can probably turn it around, maybe not the event or situation but how youre looking at it.

My mother always used to say “Everything happens for a reason whether we want it to or not”.  She was right, but what she didn’t tell me that I have learned is that when things feel crappy, call upon your Archangels, your healing angels, your spirits guides or spirit friends to help you out, usually they will.  If there is a lesson in it for you to learn, great! But that doesn’t mean you have to suffer to learn it. 

The only lessons in life that I believe we have to go through for the only fact that we are human, is grief, losing something or someone.  Regardless of the level of pain, no matter how much it may hurt, no matter how long it may take you to get through it, before you begin to feel human again, the end result is a lesson that we have learned not just about grief, but also about love.  Generally it’s hard to grief for something or someone that you don’t care about.  It doesn’t touch your heart.  But with grief, when you lose someone you love by death, divorce, seperation or whatever reason it touches your heart and hurts in such a way that truly the only thing that can make it feel better is your decision to feel better, to heal, and to move on,,,time,,,it just takes time.  We can’t determine how much time it will take, for only our heart knows when it has truly healed.

So when things seem dark and your feeling down and out…try to see the positive, try to look at the good things that you do have, friends or family, a dog or cat, a good job or a nice car, or maybe something about yourself, it could be great hair or a beautiful smile…so look at what you have been blessed with, look at what you have completed and what is being done ….

Try to see yourself and your situation as clearly as possible for just a few moments without the emotional part of it, and see if it will shed some light on what may be making you feel so dark…

Wishing you a week filled with love, light and laughter!
