Ups and Downs

Today, I rode the emotional roller coaster. Have you ever ridden it before? Constant change of emotions and moods. At one time of the day you feel like you're on top of the world and the next minute you want to crawl in a hole and never come out.

Well, one point of my day I was frustrated. Then I was mad. Then sad. Then hopeful. Then content. Then happy. Then beyond-words happy. Now I am, once again, content; content about the mood changes. I had low points in my day and high points in my day. I overcame the low points and was able to see past them. I was able to see that the issues I blew up were only grains of sand. I was paying too much attention to the flaws I wanted to correct, instead of paying attention to the worth of what I already have. As the day began I was a perfectionist. I was frustrated with what I didn't have and what I needed to be "perfected"; which made me mad. But as the day continued I became more aware of the "perfection" I already had. A job. Great friends and family. Health. Etc. My thoughts and priorities have been straightened due to my mood changes. Due to the ride on the emotional roller coaster. 

So for the ones who ever take a ride on the emotional roller coaster ---Try not to blow up about the little things. Prioritize. Deal with the things that are most important and be thankful for the important things you already have. I am a true believer in "everything happens for a reason". Your day will turn out exactly the way it is suppose to. 

This is my best friend, Eva. I will formally introduce you to her later but she was part of my high point today. She is ALWAYS knows how to make me feel better. I can never stay in a bad mood for long when I'm with her. Friends are always good to have as support.
