Filed Under (Being Happy) by Julie on 06-11-2008
I think I am at a place in my life now where I am actually just happy (gasp!). No, everything is not perfect. (But we all know what I discovered about being “perfect”.) And yes, life is still life. Laundry still needs to be done. Dishes still waiting to be washed. Food journal just waiting to be logged. And To Do List is still as long as ever. But… I’m happy. I’m content. Life is just good. I’d really love to bottle up this feeling and store it in my pantry for when I eventually feel differently. But rather than do that (as if it were possible, duh) I am just going to enjoy it and be grateful. Grateful that I’ve been feeling this way a lot lately. Grateful that I am finally getting to share in my weight loss journey with my hubby now.
Grateful that despite getting food poisoning and puking all night last night, my sweet daughter is feeling better tonight and sleeping peacefully now. Grateful for new friends I have made. Grateful to have found balance. Grateful to just be. Now comes the part where my instincts kick in and think that I must not be doing enough because I don’t feel stressed out over something. Surely I am forgetting something really important that should be bogging down my spirit right now. Really, isn’t there something that I am dreading? Isn’t there something I should be afraid of? Anything? Nope. This is the real deal and instincts (if that’s really what they are, I have my suspicions) can be passed on. And tonight, I choose to let them go. For now, I enjoy this. I Breathe. And I go enjoy the rest of the evening with my awesome Hubby. Life is definitely good. Thanks God.

I want a bottle of that, too. So hard for me to remember that I search around for it when I don’t feel it and stress in the process. You said what most of us often feel but won’t admit, at least out loud.

yes, sometimes we are so overwhelmed with the requirements of life that we forget to just enjoy ourselves…honestly life IS too short..I’m happy you’re in “that” place now
