We see so many posts of happy people sharing their good times and accomplishments. But we are all human and face it...life sucks sometimes. It's part of life. We learn from it. It makes us stronger. So, as much as I like to hear about all the happiness in everyone's life...I know that it's only a small percentage of the real life we all experience. And that's okay.
I am learning to live for today. The everyday is good. The now is what we should focus on. Remember the past. Look forward to the future and live in the now. What a beautiful way to live. Each minute we have a choice to be happy or mad, angry, sad, joyful, playful. To love. That's what's important. Love yourself. Every minute. Life goes on even when we don't get our way. If our plans go awry...make new ones. Celebrate the idea of spontaneity. And cherish every moment. Don't hurt others. Sometimes this is easy, a friend asks you to do or not to do something specific that will hurt them. You have the choice to decide what's import. I have dealt with this recently...maybe that's why I am posting this. Love yourself and hurting others won't be an option. That doesn't mean do what you want...it means love yourself enough to know how your actions are going to affect others. Then when you are doing this you'll not ever feel regret for a selfish act. Or have to deal with someone that you care about that is hurting because of the the selfish act. You'll feel a contentment in your heart...a peace you created for and with those you love and those that love you.
I chose to be happy today. Tomorrow I hope I choose to do the same, but for now...I hope my actions and love bring peace to you my friends. Peace in the moonlight.
