9:26pm:
[Private to friends]I am in a brilliant mood right now. I don't know why, precisely...but I've just re-realized, by way of lots of thinking, that I have a lot of people that love me. I am, in this matter, very lucky. I think I tend to forget things sometimes when I get caught up in my own wacky thoughts.
Let's take a moment to think about the things that make us happy, yes? If we focus on the positives, we can do bloody well anything, right? I mean, I don't suggest forgetting reality altogether...but we have to go in believing we can do something, or else we're not going to have the gung-ho attitude we need to work it. And we can do it. We've got some of the brightest minds on our side. The sooner we get ourselves convinced of the possibility of kicking them down, the better.
Tell me something,
anything that makes you happy. What makes you want to dance in the middle of your yard, rain or sun?
For me, it's breaking a ridiculously difficult curse after feeling like I might not for a split second...and spring! The flowers always come back in Spring. So it's like, even if we're in a spot where we are sort of like "dead" flowers in winter, we'll come back just as bright as ever soon enough, yeah? This thought makes me so happy it's ridiculous.
Sorry for those of you who may have been affected by my negative mood. I didn't mean to be so...difficult. Just hit me upside the head next time. Not too hard, though. I don't need brain damage. In fact, I really rather think I like my brain working the way it's meant to, yeah?
For my family, I love you all so very much...even if we don't get to see each other as much as we'd like. I'll just have to send you plenty of messages.
