Songs of meaning, words of strength.

Today... Today is the day I re-take control. The day that "I put right what once went wrong". So much in my life has been changing, I put these things in motion, I had that control. Then for a list of reasons that can best be simplified into fear, I lost that control. I started letting things slide, then I started doing things that only fed my feelings of being out of control. Today I change that and take back the reins of my life from fate.

"i woke up this morning, with this feeling inside me that I can't explain, like a weight that i've carrin, been carried away. But I know something is coming, I don't know what it is, but I know its amazing can save me, my time is coming, I will find my way out of this longest drought. and it feels like today, i'm sure."

Today I have been listening to some music that reminded me what it was like to be positive, and upbeat.. what it was like when I was really ok with me. I had all these things that I planned on saying here, but you know what, that's it.

I am gonna try and keep this feeling going, find more positive music, find more things to smile about. I spent my whole lunch hour with a customer who I really didn't know laughing. Random person that I could find things to smile and laugh about. I can't remember the last time I was able to do that. Slowly figuring out who I am, who I want to be and how I can get to that person. I just have to remember, that its one step at a time. forward, small goals, I need to remember that life is a journey, and half the pleasure are the things along the way. to much time spent trying to cram who I am into a specific box. "I and everything I am should fit into one of these 10 symmetrical boxes." when that is simply not the case.

positive attitude about life on as many days as possible. Step 1
