This is a follow-up post to my post about letting go of people who make my life harder than it should be. It is essential to remember . . . on the days of disappointment, or realization that it’s time to let go . . . that there are so many other people who make my life easier, better, great.
I’ve been in a bit of a funk. Astonishing how easy it is to get out of one when I take a look around at all that is good in my life. I made a list today of things I wanted to do between now and January 8, when the kids go back to school. It is a long list. Some of it is mundane, but some of it is really fun. I also had lunch with a friend, my best female friend . . . and man, does she ever have a way of putting things in perspective.
I’ve never known anyone who does as much for others as she does. She blows my mind, she makes me proud, and she makes me humble. My little issues pale to nothingness when she tells me about things she’s working on or just doing. She’s also really great about asking what’s going on with me, so I don’t leave our lunches or get-togethers feeling like a total loser over what I’m doing with my life. She reminds me of things I do that are important, things that when we do them ourselves don’t seem so, but through the eyes of others, we are reminded they are.
I caught up with another friend a few minutes ago, and after our chat, I felt exhilerated, rarin’ to go, ready to take on life’s next (or continuing) challenges.
Life is great.
My mantra.
I will repeat it over and over and over again.
Until I remember without needing to say it, or write it.
