Monday night, the actual storm that was brewing outside of my safe haven, ended up breaking through the walls... LITERALLY!! The storm caused a lot of damage and stress... I tried not to let it get to me because after all it is just "stuff"! But I think as the day went on and nothing seemed to go my way, I slowly started getting frustrated and feeling down in the dumps. It probably doesn't help that I haven't had a decent sleep in over a week.. life has been busy and roadblocks have been appearing more than usual. But then I realized that, although I have had some minor health concerns, I am ALIVE and well. I feel ridiculous that I let myself get so stressed out about minor things when there are people in this world who are suffering much greater trials... During that storm, I lost a bedroom ceiling.. but some people lost their homes, cars, and even family members.
It's easy for us to get wound up in our own little bubbles and convince ourselves that it's the end of the world when one thing doesn't go our way... It's especially easy when you are going on little sleep... But who wants to live their life being depressed over something that in time will be nothing... I, for one, do not! Although I had a rough couple days, I am not going to let that bring me down and affect the life I am blessed with. It is not worth it! So to the people who had to be around me the last couple days, I am sorry! I'm sure my silence, irritability, and shortness was not a pleasure to be around! I promise to bring back the girl who doesn't stop smiling! :) Life is too short not to be happy.. not even for one day!
