I feel better today. I've said it before, and I'll say it again - life is 10% what happens and 90% how you react to it. No body feels 100% all the time. You just have to take it day by day. I could write something un-original and repeated, but I will share something with you that is much more beautiful. My friend Jenn, who writes the most amazing words wroteme this, and it made me smilecry:
There is no time for regret - there is no perfect job, no perfect decision, no perfect place...you just have to fight every step of the way to make it yours and right for you as much as you can, whatever it is you're given at this point in time. That's the only thing I know for certain now. That you make the decisions you do, for whatever reason, and the only way you're going to be happy is if you stick to it and live it the best you can. Nothing will lead you to perfection for free...have to work at it. Even if it looks like you'll never get there. Life doesnt belong to you - its just a battle, and it goes out like a flame when its your time. Nothing's promised to you - no money, no amount of time, no lover, no family, nothing is guaranteed and least of all your life. Every single cell that we have, every molecule is just a miracle, let alone the sheer fact that we're alive with all our limbs working, and healthy and with money to live on, with jobs, with family. We are already living the dream...its not a matter of being grateful...its knowing this fact, and actually being able to accept it.
I totally just copy-righted and referenced. Jenn Yang, please write a book. You are amazing. My freinds are amazing. Your friends are a reflection of who you are, and so if all else fails, it makes me feel pretty happy knowing that I have the friends I do.
Here's a song from two other friends who always lend me their ear- Thank you for sharing with me music, wisdom and laughter. I am greatful to friendship. Those people that let you be you, that let you smile from the inside, and not think about a damn thing you've said and done the next day. Those friends who follow this blog, know that I miss you so much today, and I love you. I hope you are having a good day/night wherever you are reading this.
( I also love how when I read back on my goal of being motivated, I realize that I don't spend nearly half the amount of time on here as I do at work. le sigh).
