Slowly Rising From Dejection

-
Today was a good day.  I wasn’t as focused on my broken heart. I was finally able to genuinely smile, thanks to Sonya, the server at the Subway restaurant I frequent.
My morning started out how it usually does, negative runaway thoughts clouding my mind. However, by the time I got to Krispy Kreme, my focus was on something else, what can I do to make someone’s day? Then my downtrodden spirit slowly felt lifted.
I started checking off, in my mind, the gifts I bought for the workers at Krispy Kreme and Subway that often serves me.  Trying to make sure I’m not forgetting anyone. I don’t know all their names, but that doesn’t matter. They are hard workers with great personalities.
I reminded myself, that if I want to get beyond the pain and hurt of a broken heart, I should set my focus on doing something to help someone, or just to make someone’s day a little brighter.
It is the end of my day and I’m on my way home. I do feel dejected, but hopeful.

“Peace begins with a smile..” ―  Mother Teresa “Laugh, even when you feel too sick or too worn out or tired. Smile, even when you're trying not to cry and the tears are blurring your vision. Sing, even when people stare at you and tell you your voice is crappy. Trust, even when your heart begs you not to. Twirl, even when your mind makes no sense of what you see. Frolick, even when you are made fun of. Kiss, even when others are watching. Sleep, even when you're afraid of what the dreams might bring. Run, even when it feels like you can't run anymore.  And, always, remember, even when the memories pinch your heart. Because the pain of all your experience is what makes you the person you are now. And without your experience---you are an empty page, a blank notebook, a missing lyric. What makes you brave is your willingness to live through your terrible life and hold your head up high the next day. So don't live life in fear. Because you are stronger now, af...

The Voice!

It is another day, and, with another day, comes the feeling of wanting to be alone. I didn’t want to get out of bed and head to work. However, I forced myself and I am out I popped in to Krispy Kreme, like I do every day. Well, almost every day. I ordered a small coffee, and, cinnamon raisin bagel, with cream cheese. With my coffee in my right hand, me approaching a table to sit, I clearly heard that voice in my head, saying, “Get up! Get up!”   Kinda reminded me of that scene from the movie, Matrix, when Trinity said, “Get up, Trinity.  Get up!”. However, the ‘get up!’ in my case isn’t in the literal sense, but figuratively. I am emotionally drained, and, at some point, I need to snap myself out of it, and live. That’s what that voice was encouraging me to do. Get Up!

Trying to write about your unexciting life.

Have you ever tried to write a book, and while writing, you think to yourself, this is rubbish.  Nobody's going to buy or read this.  Well, that's how I am feeling right now.  I am trying to tell a story, but it's not flowing, it doesn't sound exciting.  I keep asking, how do I make my boring life exciting on paper?
