Do you ever have those days when everything seems to be rolling along smoothly & then *whop*...out of nowhere, the miserable blues descend upon your sad little soul? (too dramatic?) Dramatic, yes; but true, most definitely! For me, today was one of those 'everything's good' days...until *whop* the thought of my upcoming birthday entered my mind...bad move, brain. Even though my birthday is not until October, my brain decided that I should begin making plans immediately; thus begins our cautionary tale.
For the last 20 years (give or take a few), my family has always celebrated my birthday in the same way...we usually make our annual pilgrimmage to the Dixie Classic Fair. Even last year, I could not wait for the fair; I was so excited! This year, however, is shaping up to be quite altogether different. While at work, I had the thought of maybe going to the beach, since I absolutely love the beach in the fall...plus, I haven't actually been to the beach in several years. After running this "brilliant" idea past my Mom, who did not seem to share my same enthusiasm, the blues began to descend.
After finishing our conversation, I decided to do what I do best, reseach; and that is where the misery quickly entered the picture. After researching tons of options, I've come to the conclusion (a month & a half in advance, mind you) that I am simply too broke to go anywhere or do anything for my birthday.
Dear Lord in Heaven...what is my problem???
Now that I've made note of my miserable moment, I'll be going to bed...never to think of this miserable moment again. I resolve that my birthday will be spectacular, memorable and tons of fun! I simply must remember to remind myself to think happy thoughts :)
So, if you've succombed to a miserable bluesy moment, follow after me:
1) write it down & get it all out
2) ask God for help
3) go to bed
4) resolve that tomorrow will be better
I'm not saying it's a perfect plan, but tomorrow will tell if it actually worked.
Nite all.
