Warning: this post is a break from the normal "newsiness" of this blog...okay, I jest. There is no norm and there is not a whole lot of news going on here. But, in any case, here is an excerpt from my life at this point in time. Talking to yourself is cathartic.
People say to look at each day as the beginning of the rest of your life. This has never been one of my personal creeds, of which there are more than a few, however it is the approach I am taking, starting now (pun intended).
I am seeking to live every day for that day; accomplishing those things that will make individual day a success unto itself. I want to throw myself into every day and attack it like it's all there is.
I want to look ahead. No more looking back. No more wasting time crying and moping about anything. Yes I have experienced incredible sadness, and also incredible joy. And, you know what, there's a whole lot more of both to come! "Life may be sad, but it's always beautiful."
I am choosing to be happy. Although I lose sight of it often, I have always held the basic belief that happiness is the sole responsibility of each individual person. It's a choice. Every day, every minute of my life is a choice. I can decide to be happy or sad. I can choose to be afraid, or I can be brave. No one can make me feel inferior without my consent.
Of course, happiness is not always an easy choice to make. Sadness is easy. It's easy to get bogged down in the selfish pain that we all experience. You have to do what makes you happy. You have to think what makes you happy. If you don't feel it, fake it until you do.
I am the author of my own destiny. "I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul."
Congratulations if you read that and still choose to associate with the Rat Queen. So perish all babblers.
