Yesterday

yesterday i decided to throw stress right out the door.

well technically it was out my car window.

yep, i literally peeled it right off of me -- my upper body, my lower body, my head & most especially my heart -- & gave it a good toss.

for good. & i am quite serious about this.

why? because stress SUCKS!

there really is no other way to put it. 'life IS good'... but as you know, life is hard, too. not that that is a bad thing or anything... it just IS.

so if it is what it IS, why worry about it at all? especially when it is pretty much c o m p l e t e l y out of our control? it really doesn't make any sense & it strips us of enjoying what IS...

and most times, what is right in front of us IS needing to be thoroughly enjoyed & appreciated.

yesterday,
i decided to stop unnecessary worry about what tomorrow may bring, or even the next second for that matter.
i decided that the road to calm, natural 'happiness' is a WHOLE LOT brighter without the dust or residue of stress.
i decided that 'stress' was a fad i just wasn't into representing anymore.

so yes, stress may SUCK, but the truth is, it is also a choice. ...one i am guilty as charged of participating in.

but yesterday,
i CHOSE to let it go.
i chose to just TRUST.
i chose to BELIEVE all will be okay...

because you know what? somehow, it always is.
