Thought and Poem – November 18, 2014

There are some days you wake up so happy your spirit is energized. You get feeling that no matter what may come your way during the day to try and turn these feelings around…you are going to be able to handle it. I had one of these mornings today where I was so full of energy that I could feel the positive juices warming my heart and refreshing my soul. I will admit it was unusual but nevertheless for whatever reason, I will accept these good feelings for now.

“Now” I say because for I am sure at some point during the day a negative something will find its way to me. This last thought got me thinking. Why is it hard for us to allow ourselves to feel good? I mean truly, how many mornings are there where we actually jump out of bed ready to take on the world with positive energy? It should be okay for us to bask in the aura of a delusional moment…right?

Then I got thinking some more. Why is it when we are feeling good that we bring ourselves right back down with negative thoughts? If we look hard enough, there are plenty of negatives around us that will slowly but surely find their way into our homes eventually. So why can’t we enjoy a few moments when we wake up feeling so good, that we allow it to empower us to believing we have what it will take to be positive even if just for a little while? The answer is…people are afraid of the “smile” that comes when one is happy and feeling positive. Other people label these kinds of folks as CRAZY because they stand out as different. See…I knew negative was close behind…happy!

What about you? If waking up feeling positive and happy labels you as “delusional” and “crazy” would you let it spoil your day? Share your thoughts with us…Jeanne Claire Probst

Feeling Good?

I woke up this morning feeling “good.”

I have been told there would be some days that I would.

I wasn’t sure of this good feeling…

So I had to check to see if I was BREATHING!

YES, I was breathing…I was still alive!

So I jumped out of bed so happy…HIGH FIVE!

Full of energy and ready to take on the world

I basked in the moment trying to settle my excited nerves.

It is not often I get feeling this way,

But somehow…good feelings and positive…together surprised me today.

So I will get a jump on doing what the day might bring,

Before I am robbed by these good feeling by any negative things.

I know they will come

It happens to everyone

But that is okay

Because I woke up feeling “good” today!
