Who Makes it Better?
As some of you may have guessed the start to my week wasn’t the very best and I was so sad and hurt and yes I will admit I had waves of anger crossing through me.
I had wonderful support, encouragement and love from my dear friends and from some people I had not encountered before. Now each and every one of these supporters helped to lift me a little out of my gloom, but in the end it was me, myself, I that made it better.
You see no matter how much love and support you get from people if you don’t build on the feelings you get from realising that you are liked then you will simply keep slipping backwards. People can’t put your world right for you but what they can do is give you a “leg up” a “boost”, it’s up to you whether you run with that or whether you just sit around wallowing.
I did end up wallowing on Monday, I was wallowing in mud in my garden, because I needed to get my mind off what had happened, so I decided to put up my new fence even though it was raining, the combination of having to concentrate fully on putting up the fence occupied my mind so the hurt and sadness didn’t have room to be there, pounding nails into the wood released frustration, and working in the rain was making me laugh at how mad I must have seemed to my neighbours. (although they think I’m quite eccentric anyway).
I used the “goodness boost” to propel myself forward and away from the negativity and ended up not only getting a new fence but also took back authority over my feelings.
What is that old saying “You can’t keep a good person down”……………I want to change it to say “You can’t keep an enlightened being down”.
Blessings.
