Yesterday I decided I need my own visual reminder.
I'm not sure if it is cabin fever (I am so looking forward to spring!) or the fact that the big 50 is fast approaching, but I've been exceptionally 'Moody' LOL -
I am sure Norm & Storm have another word for it.
It is what it is.
I have decided to embrace 50 - of course, and remember I am lucky to be alive! We all are. Any day above ground is a good day. I feel good turning 50, I feel strong enough to eliminate any bullshit from my life and bring in what I need.
I will surround myself with love and continue to focus on being 'content'.
I was going to draw myself happy! Happy is over rated. I've had several conversations lately with a few and it has me thinking. One friend said 'all her friends are happily married' to which my reply was 'bullshit'. Really? - Why pretend life is so great all the time, instead we should be honest with each other and try to help each other - even talking it through with someone helps. I 'bitch' to my bud Cathy especially, she listens and then usually gives me something to compare and before you know it, you see - it's not just you.
No, we (the majority) would rather say - 'our life is perfect', and take antidepressants to THINK we can keep it that way... happily drugged so you don' give a shit about anything and just go with the flow.
With divorce rates at over 1/2 - I'd say many people are lying.
A couple of others are in new relationships and I am truly happy for them but, when you turn 50 you see several times over - sure a new relationship is fantastic for about 2-3 years... and who would not want that feeling!? It is the greatest addiction in the world LOVE. But this 'being happy' all the time - not very realistic. I wish more people would look for content.
If we learn that life is not all about happy we learn to cope and then - focus on making it content. Content is good - throw in some happy days and of course sad days - it is the sad that we learn the most IMO and make us who we are today.
Today I choose to be content and in control.
I painted myself content because I can.
Now, It l hangs above my desk and be continually reminded.
Spring is on the way, I'm surrounded by unconditional love and I am at peace.
Draw yourself content... I also did this to help a few beginners! LOL
Love Georgia <><
