Sometimes, Life is Very Strange

This week has just been one of those weeks. I have been holding on to my good humor to the best of my ability...and then my grip slipped. Big time.

Is it Mercury retrograde or something?

My insides feel calm, truly. And yet, on the surface things are just all over the place and I feel really uncomfortable. I strapped on my seatbelt and I am holding on tight!

I guess I have just messed up this week. Not on purpose. Even though some really good things have happened and I feel like this year is going to be really wonderful...some weeks are better than others.

I think that maybe I am having some hard lessons right now and that is okay. It is all okay. I am doing my best to be kind to myself. I think I lost the respect of someone I care for (because I was being human and had a messy emotional moment) and that relationship will be no more. I am coming to terms that sometimes things happen that way. (Can he forgive me? Can he have compassion? Can he like me even when I am not doing well? Can I ? If he can't forgive me, is he really good for me?) I can't control others--I can only do my best. My best is going to vary from day to day and from season to season. That is okay too. It is all part of the journey.

I borrowed this from someone else's blog:

"Promise youself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on the the greater achievements of the future. Give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. Live in the faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you!" ~ Christian D. Larson

Some good words to think about.
