I have been going into some weird depressive mood swings lately....I attribute it to the horrendous amount of junk food/fast food I have been eating and the heat and back pain.
This week started off kind of bad but was quickly snapped out of it. One of my very wise co-workers vented about some very tough situations he has been facing lately and it made me realize...."WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING STEPH!!?" There is no reason for me to be sad....about anything. LIFE IS TOO SHORT to spend my time dealing with sadness, fear, uncertainty, anxiety, negativity.... you name it!
Sure I may not be where I would like to be on various levels of my life, but I should make the best of it while I can.
I was given some great advice as well regarding parents. "One of the best things you can do to your mom and dad is to hug them and let them know just how much you love them. And do it as much as you can, because you never really know when we will never see them again." Needless to say I started crying after this haha See this is coming from a parent, who is dealing with somethings with his parent so I understood this and it makes sense to me. He knows what he is talking about. So I guess what I am trying to get at is, I know sometimes our parents don't always show us how much they love us....well in a way that is clear to us that they love us, but let us love them and verbally/clearly tell them we love them. I know they will appreciate it, even they may be like "what the hell is wrong with you?" Its just a facade, they really do like it lol
I think this can be extended to everyone in our lives that we love. So for all of my wonderful friends/family and everyone else in between....I LOVE YOU!! :) (Just picture my high pitched squeaky voice saying it hahaha lovely huh?)
Here's hoping that all of our days are as bright and beautiful as natures flowers (cause remember I really like flowers lol),
Namaste,
Steph

I make sure to tell my wittle baby (did you hear that baby talk in there? lol) how much I love him. Last night he was watching the movie Brother Bear 2 & he sat next to me in the bed, laid his head on my chest, & gave me a hug. He didn't stay there very long but it was the small gesture that counted. lol
Anyway, I don't tell my parents as often b/c I don't really get to see them. I've been thinking about that lately, it sucks that I don't see them b/c if something were to happen, I'd have no clue.
At the same time though, they have my sisters to keep them busy so I'm sure they don't miss me all that much. If they did, they'd call or come over.
My mom works a block from where I live on the weekends b/c she babysits during the week which is a whole other issue altogether but anwyay. She never stops by b/c she has to run back home to watch the girls.
I understand those weird depressive mood swings b/c I've been going through those too but I think I'm on the almost done with this phase part.
My depressive, sad moods are less often & when I do get them, I'm able to get myself out of them. So that's good, right?
