So yesterday was kind of a bad day, but I have gotten over it and am ready to move on (again!). If you read my last post, thanks for bearing with me. It felt good to get my feelings out into the universe.
I heard an old cliche yesterday, that happiness is a state of mind. And it is so true. You can choose to be happy or you can choose to be angry or mad or sad. Life is so much better when you choose to be happy. Now, I'm not saying that life isn't hard, cause it is a lot of the time, but it's so much better to live and let live. I am working on trying to make myself a better person, and there will be some bumps in the roads (those bumps being people or events) and I can choose to let them pull me down, or I can choose to stand back up and carry on. I think I am going to go with the standing back up option. Another cliche, what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger!
I want to start to get rid of my negative thoughts or feelings as soon as they start to happen. Nip them in the bud as soon as possible instead of letting them settle and fester in my head. That was my problem yesterday, I let that anger and resentment get the best of me and it won and ruined my day and almost today as well. I woke up in a bad mood and all I wanted to do was sleep. But, I picked up my book and started reading. Then I decided to do some painting of the hallways and I did that for an hour and a half. And now I am thinking about talking a walk. Staying active will also help. Because, for me, the bad things get worse when I sit around dwelling on them. Most of my friends and people that I know think I am a happy person. And last week, I got to thinking that I can put on a good show...because sometimes I have a lot of negativity brewing inside me. But if I work hard I can make that happy person become a reality and not have to 'act' it.

As Oprah would say, this is an Aha! moment for me. It's a new dawn, it's a new day!
