Life has it’s ups and downs… a well noted fact. For some of us the lows are so low we become depressed and tired and the highs can be so off the chart that we think nothing could be better. I find for myself that the down times are not as deadly as they may be for some. Most of the time I hit the valleys in life, i just sort of get a little more quiet and keep to myself. And I am not bouncing off the walls either when the high times hit.
For the most part, I seem to be in the valleys when I am also in some kind of tight place financially. I do see a direct relationship between having little or no operating funds and low feelings of attitude. Yes, I used the word “attitude” because it has such power over the well being of an individual.
As I find myself blogging here on my iBook while preparing dinner, I can evaluate myself to see that I have a somewhat neutral attitude. I am not feeling down and out and not off the charts either. But thats an ok thing for me since that means I am not feeling “oh how woe is me”.
I am sure we all have things in life that we feel would make it all better, if only we could attain those things that seem to be just out of reach.
I find that just as certain songs I hear playing on the radio, Pandora or where ever I listen to music, they can seem to start up the mental projector and get images flowing in my mind. And then the thoughts and times associated with those memories come rushing onto the scene. And just as that can happen, I can also “control” the movies that play by playing certain songs that I know invoke the feelings I want to have instead. But sometimes I think those thoughts and old movies that come up can be beneficial to us. They can help us to either see where our live has evolved from… good or not so good.
My favorite saying of late is “tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life”. So anything that you wish to change about your life can easily be done just like a brand new start on life.
