moment to think about the pros of facing the day. Maybe think about the things that bring you joy. The people that enrich your life. The circumstances that keep you motivated. Maybe concentrate on the successes rather than the failures. We all have moments that we know contribute to the definition of us that we'd prefer to forget. Today, do that. Forget. Instead, remember the great that you do. Remember the greatness that defines you. Today, ignore that diet and open up the pint of ice cream, or bag of chips. Today order take out, indulge in some reality tv. Do something on this dreary day that brings you a moment of pure pleasure. Me, I've got a cup of iced coffee, General Hospital, Candy Crush and a bag of lays. And I'm in my glory :-) | Isn't it amazing how on a rainy dreary day like today you can still feel pretty good inside? There have been more days than I can count that have left me feeling as depressed as the weather looked. Today, even after hours in Brooklyn traffic, pounding the pavement and dealing with somewhat ornery professionals I still feel good. Part of me believes its because of my co travel companion for the day and the other part believes its because I'm at an age and stage in my life where I shrug my shoulders and say who cares.

My goals and vision for my life is always steeped in ensuring that happiness shine through. I never want to step into a new realm without feeling that it will better me within. No matter the monetary gain, peace and contentment must prevail among all. Today, I actually gave some thought to choosing something that others may view as not indicative of happiness. The truth is that what one may view as happiness doesn't always mean the same for others. I find joy and happiness by sitting with my family and cracking jokes. I find joy and happiness in spending quiet moments with my mother. I find happiness fishing alongside my dad. When it comes to work, there is an indescribable sense of pride, joy and happiness when a Dr, Mgr or Co Worker gives you the thumbs up, pat on the back or a simple thank you. So, as I start transitioning into the next 40 years of my life, I can't help but wonder if maybe my thoughts should shift a bit more towards a realistic, materialistic and overall monetary way of living. Happiness is great but wouldn't it be even better if I didn't have to think about mounting medical bills and credit card bills? Happiness is awesome, but how much better would it be if I was challenged and was able to turn something that seemed difficult into an accomplishment that others doubted I'd be able to achieve? Today, I'm stuck between following a path that leaves me in a place of stagnation and truly pursuing those things that will help me to grow in ways i'm sure I couldn't imagine. I titled this Stuck between a Rock and a Hard place but after writing i'm realizing, that i'm not stuck at all. Like Dorothy, I just have to jump on the yellow brick road.
