Something that I want to do for myself this season, is to find ways to keep myself optimistic and inspired.
For the past while I found that I've allowed melancholy to become my main motivator.
Gray rainy days have been my comfort. Tears have been more satisfying than smiles.
Whimsy and quirkiness are a huge part of who I am.
I enjoy being the quiet girl with the deep running strangeness... that is some what endearing... if not confusing to the general population.
Negative energy has been fueling me for quite a long time. My itunes playlist entitled 'melancholy', where all my most listed to music lives, is a testament to this.
I've come to the realization that I need to change my attitude.
I'm still the same girl, and this transformation may take time, but I think its time.
I need to focus on the joy of life. I need to find the sunshine, and enjoy the rain when it come - not go searching for the dark clouds.
This season I am going to use this blog as a place to keep a collection of thoughts and images that reflect the joyous whimsy that I wish to see in my life.
There may be moments of melancholy that appear, but I need to learn to acknowledge them, but then move on, with out lingering in the darkness.
Each day I want to find at least one thing, weather its a poem, an image on the internet, or from my own life... a memory, a moment of joy from my day, a piece of scripture that speaks to me, a song... ANYTHING! I want to post it here, so I can track my our journey to joy.
