I can't say it came from just one thing, or even name the string of things that it stemmed from. It just sort of happened. This positivity just marched up to me, brushed through the door, grabbed my hand, took the wheel, and said "Let's go!". And am I going? Hell yes!
I feel an inner peace, not quite where I want it to be, but damn near the best I've ever felt before. I'm not perfect by any means, but I feel as though I'm getting to where perfect is, for me. Books have been my staple lately. I always have a few with me, a few that I'm reading, and of course, several that I'm buying.
Whole Foods has become my home away from home. EAch and every time I venture through the doors, I feel lifted, instantly. The food is amazing, yes, but what makes the experience, well...an experience, is the people. It's a mash-up of hundreds of different kinds of people. I could sit there for hours and just enjoying watching the people pass me by. It helps that they're all super-friendly to boot.
I've realized a lot about myself, and about the world. I've accepted, hell actually BELEIVED that for once, I DO have the power to do big things. I looked at my hands the other day for quite a while, and I just felt a surge of "I can!" attitude. It sounds corny, I'm sure. But I couldn't be happier.
A large part of it has to do with the fact that lately I've been setting my mind to things, and actually accomplishing them. I had the classic case of "Slacker Syndrome" and "Procrastinators Putting-It-Off Problem". But I decided that I was going to build myself a book case. And Lo and behold, in two days, it was complete. Done by myself. With my own hands. It may not sound like much, but holy shit did that feel like a mountain of an accomplishment. And it's the first of many.
I'll be posting pictures of the book case soon, and updating this little gem more regularly. But until then, be well!
