Attitude

I barely got up at all this weekend. I was a slug. I was a bit depressed and pretty much not feeling my best either. I am ashamed I spent so much time doing NOTHING. Of course, a lot would say one needs downtime. I just don't subscribe to that at ALL. I even put on my stat update on Facebook that Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down. What a sourpuss. I got to thinking about Tyler Parten's family and Zack Jones's family. Who am I to sit around here and be depressed and/or mope? I have absolutely NO reason not to be joyous that I am alive one more day and all of my family is as well. What on Earth is wrong with me? Very uncool. So, I changed my stat to an absolutely chipper one! And ya know what, I felt better immediately!

For those of my readers who don't believe in God or question His existence, this may be hard for you to read. But I know He is real and I also know that the Devil is real. The Devil tried very hard to steal my joy today. I let him in and he started right off. After I changed my stat update, i managed to get coffee on my cool white tee, drop an entire carton of diet cokes not once but TWICE, and stare down a 2 page essay on the epics.....now this might have made me go right back into a funk BUT I totally won out today! I recognize when I 'm being messed with and I just decided to remain positive. And ya know what, it works.

I realize I've got plenty of daylight left to screw my joy up but I'm gonna look at it as a whole day to enjoy my JOY. I hope all my blog readers keep their chins up and realize that you should live for today because tomorrow is not guaranteed. Life is filled with valleys and mountains, but it's one's attitude that can make all the difference in the world. I know I will have another "bad" day and that's OK, it's how I choose to handle it that will make all the difference in the world. Life lessons. They're important.
