OK..... I consider myself a positive person.... on the whole, at least.
That beings said, having to be "on" all day at the coffee shop has been a challenge. Everyone has "bad" days....even Mary Poppins, right?
Life throws you some pretty high speed challenges... often in groups of 16 and, lets face it, it is hard to remain "Optimistic".... even for me.
And.... I have read all the posts on Facebook, seen all the pictures on Instagram accompanied by picture of perfectly dressed people staring off into the sunset... "Moving" I think to myself. BUT, some days, heck, even some weeks are shitty.
Now I don't believe that EVERY SINGLE THING THAT CROSSES YOUR PATH IS MEANT TO TEACH US SOME UNIVERSAL LESSON ABOUT THE TRUE MEANING FOR THE REASON WE ARE ALL HERE. I do believe, however, that some days are just tough and that is ok. Really, it is.... just ok.
No life is perfect. No person is perfect. Humans are humans and we all react differently to crisis's, however big or small. And even for me... These ethereal heavenly wisdom "quoters" are driving me nuts! NUTS! Can I have an "AMEN" anybody? Come on, it can't just be me!?!
My very dear friend just moved into a new rental house. She loves it, except that her toilet did nothing but spit and bubble for 4 days in a row. Needless to say, she lost her "cherublike" demeanor. During this particular challenge in her life she had several people ask her what was her lesson in all of this??? She had a few great answers to share with me (although I never asked her this particular question) as she was sprinting to the bathroom here at the coffee shop at 5:31am.
The truth is.... there was no lesson the Universe was trying to teach her by disabling her commode.....it was just a pain-in-the-butt (no pun intended, or maybe it was) deal that inconvenienced her alot. And her reaction was natural, healthy and just plain old OK.
In summation..... sometimes people can be sad, angry, pissed off and out of sorts. It is ok to FEEL. We don't need medicine, or a quote from the Good Book for everything that happens... maybe we just Need a Break..... or some time to think..... or maybe just a smile and a pat on the back... or maybe..... just maybe.... nothing at all.

And a most excellent thought it is. Sometimes riding it out is the very best I can do. And some problems do not have a solution. For a control freak like me, that can be frustrating.
Boy Julie sometimes I love being able to see clearly into your head. It is an amazing place in there. I loved what you wrote and I felt a little weight lift off. I love and so much I wish you underdstanding, peace and strength because then I know you can climb all the mountains and smile. Xox
